In challenging the entrenched view that access and excellence are incompatible, it offers essential guidance on how leaders can address current and future challenges in the field.
Leadership in turbulent times uses empirical research, conceptual scholarship, and personal narratives to tell the complex stories of the ways individuals and institutions are cultivating diversity and inclusion in the higher education workplace. The authors examine the individual strategies and institutional actions that address the systemic challenges to integrating diversity and inclusion in higher education. The volume is a must-read for students, faculty, institutional leaders, and higher education policymakers to understand how we can intentionally transform higher education.
