Beyond Tokenism: What Does True Diversity in Higher Education Look Like?
Description
On the first episode of Sustainability Matters (formerly Humanities Matter), we explore the complexities of diversity and inclusion in higher education. Do the frameworks in US universities today advance equity, or merely mask deeper systemic issues? How can academia move beyond optics to genuine transformation? And what does diversity and justice in higher education truly look like? All this and more with Dr. Nimisha Barton, author of “Diversity Practitioners and Institutional Whiteness”, a chapter in her book A Just Future, published by Cornell University Press—a partner of De Gruyter Brill.
