Written by expert social justice academics, the volume provides a collection of honest, critically reflective personal narratives by those who are leading systemic change within their institutions. The faculty authors share openly about their experiences, motivations, challenges, alliances, hopelessness, hopefulness, and what they wish they had known from the start. Topics include addressing systemic racism, changing discriminatory academic policies, establishing resources for historically marginalized students, advocating for a more diverse faculty and staff, educating the campus about bias, among others. The book empowers social justice academics to navigate the complexities of institutional procedures, recognize invisible walls that slow progress, and curate coalitions for systemic change.
Uniquely addressing the joys and challenges of creating systemic change, the book will be essential reading for faculty involved in social justice activism within their universities and colleges. It will also be relevant for all those in the fields of social justice, community engagement, critical higher education, psychology, and sociology.
