Degrees of difference : reflections of women of color on graduate school / by McKee, Kimberly,(Kimberly D.),editor.; Delgado, Denise A.,editor.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 173-189) and index."Although universities have begun to assert a commitment to diversity and inclusivity, this directive has not translated into actual support for underrepresented communities, especially women of color graduate students. It is still commonplace for these students to encounter sexism, racism, homophobia, and classism among fellow graduate students and faculty--often all at the same time. These women encounter fellow graduate students who look down on community college graduates and faculty who do not support ethnic studies or work on people of color. Male scholars dominate classroom texts, and if there is a female scholar included, she is inevitably white. Students are asked inappropriate and invasive questions as they begin to feel like imposters among a sea of white faces. Degrees of Difference bridges the political and personal gap by providing frank and honest reflections on the power relationships that exist within higher education. Contributors come from across the academy, including social work, medicine, history, and ethnic studies, providing diverse perspectives on navigating the challenging path of graduate school. A Latina reflects on the failure of social work curriculum to fully address racial/ethnic minorities, a queer black feminist shares strategies for navigating med school, and one woman of color gives insight into the added hurdles of raising two children while finishing her dissertation. Because there is a dearth of resources for graduate students of color, especially women, this volume will become a go-to resource for navigating higher education. However, in addition to reaching out to women of color, this collection should also be seen as a tool to educate men of color, white allies, and family members on the experiences of women of color in graduate school"--

Experiential education in leveraging diversity."In this book, five recent undergraduates share their deeply personal struggles as students. From being a Latino at a campus filled with white faculty, to being a female medical student advised to "marry a doctor" - the stories in this book share the relatable struggles of real students, and how they overcame bias, stigma, stereotypes and ignorance to create a college experience that truly prepared them for the world. These genuine stories are all curated by a professor with decades of experience in experimental education and behavioral neuroscience, who explores each experience through the lens of social science principles like implicit bias or stereotype threat. Together, these perspectives offer an actionable roadmap for students, faculty and administrators for genuine learning about diversity in a world that desperately needs it"--back cover.

Blackballed [sound recording]/ by Ross, Lawrence C.,author.(CARDINAL)703438; Butler, Ron,Jr.,narrator.(CARDINAL)834920;
Read by Ron Butler.An explosive and controversial book that rips the veil off America's hidden secret: America's colleges have fostered a racist environment that makes them a hostile space for African American students. Lawrence Ross exposes the white fraternity and sorority system, with traditions of racist parties, songs, and assaults on black students; and the universities themselves, who name campus buildings after racist men and women. It also takes a deep dive into anti-affirmative action policies, and how they effectively segregate predominately white universities, providing ample room for white privilege.
