Journeys of Social Justice: Women of Color Presidents in the Academy by Menah Pr

Description: Journeys of Social Justice by Menah Pratt-Clarke, Johanna B. Maes, Rochelle Brock This edited volume documents the unique experiences of women of color in higher education administration. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This edited volume documents the unique experiences of women of color in higher education administration. From full professors, senior administrators, deans, presidents, and chancellors, women of color share their social justice journeys to leadership roles in the academy. With a focus on women of color presidents, a rich landscape is painted through their own voices of their experiences as they ascend and lead higher education institutions, navigating complex dynamics influenced by their race, culture, class, and gender status. The narratives of African American, Native American, Asian American, Mexican American, and Puerto Rican women leaders reflect the importance of their cultural heritage; the role of family values; the necessity of professional mentorship and support; the presence of personal resiliency; and the need to lift others while climbing and thriving. This book affirms the social justice imperative of diversifying the academy to include the scholarship, voices, perspectives, viewpoints, and leadership of women of color. Through this work, we clearly see that women of color can climb to the highest rung; can penetrate the abode ceiling, the bamboo ceiling, and the plantation roofs; can sit in the presidents chair; and can thrive as leaders in the academy. This volume can be used in higher education, gender and womens studies, leadership, and sociology courses on education and identity.
