Ruth Enid Zambrana finds that despite the changing demographics of the nation, the percentages of Black and Hispanic faculty have increased only slightly, while the percentages obtaining tenure and earning promotion to full professor have remained relatively stagnant. Toxic Ivory Towers is the first book to take a look at the institutional factors impacting the ability of URM faculty to be successful at their jobs, and to flourish in academia. The book captures not only how various dimensions of identity inequality are expressed in the academy and how these social statuses influence the health and well-being of URM faculty, but also how institutional policies and practices can be used to transform the culture of an institution to increase rates of retention and promotion so URM faculty can thrive.Consequences of Work Stress on Underrepresented Minority FacultyMinority college teachersUnited StatesMinorities in higher educationUnited StatesFaculty integrationUnited StatesUniversities and collegesUnited StatesFacultyDiscrimination in higher educationUnited StatesHispanicURMblackeducationfacultyhealthhigher educationstressunder represented minorityunder-represented minorityEDUCATION / GeneralbisacshMinority college teachersMinorities in higher educationFaculty integrationUniversities and collegesFaculty.Discrimination in higher educationHispanic.URM.black.education.faculty.health.higher education.stress.under represented minority.under-represented minority.EDUCATION / General.378.1/20973EDU015000SOC031000BUS038000PSY050000SOC001000SOC044000SOC050000bisacshZambrana Ruth E.1792535DLCDLCDLCCaOWtLBOOK9910985641703321Toxic Ivory Towers4331206UNINA
