Written/Unwritten

"Written/Unwritten" sheds light on the discrimination experienced by faculty of color in academic departments across the United States. Despite impressive records in research, teaching, and service, scholars often struggle to secure tenure-track positions due to implicit biases and shifting requirements set by tenured colleagues and administrators. This book provides a pragmatic view about how universities can improve themselves by persisting in their efforts to create a diverse and more equitable professorate, ultimately benefiting academic culture at large. Readers will gain valuable insights from contributors and interviewees who share their own experiences and hold the academy accountable.
