This resource offers theoretical perspectives and practical guidance for creating equitable and inclusive learning environments in graduate and professional education (GPE).
Thought-provoking and action-oriented, this text underscores the shared responsibility of educators, administrators, and leaders to improve equity and inclusion on both the individual and institutional levels. Contributors target critical areas that significantly impact student experience and retention, providing concrete recommendations based on empirical research and lived experiences. Chapters conclude with bulleted strategies and reflection questions that allow readers space to apply the guidance to their unique contexts.
Given the moral imperative on higher education to be socially responsible while simultaneously acknowledging oppositional forces toward diversity and inclusion initiatives, this book equips GPE leaders, administrators, and practitioners with the tools necessary to build consensus for change; design and/or evaluate programs; and defend proposed changes with evidence.
