With dramatic shifts in the faculty workforce and nearly three-quarters of instructional positions in United States institutions now off the tenure track, contingent faculty have become the essential, frontline workers of higher education. Remarkably little research attention has focused on the experiences of minoritized contingent faculty in this new academic underclass. Based on in-depth interviews coupled with extensive research, the book highlights the double marginalization that can occur due to secondary employment status in the academic hierarchy, and the exclusion resulting from the intersectionality of nondominant social identities including race and ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, and disability. As the first-person narratives reveal, these faculty often struggle for acceptance, recognition, and rewards in the day-to-day academic environment, and they can face devaluation of their contributions. As a pragmatic and concrete resource, this book offers proactive workforce strategies and key structural and policy recommendations that will assist academic and administrative leaders, including presidents, provosts, department chairs, and chief diversity officers, in building more inclusive working conditions for contingent faculty"--$cPage 4 of cover. 410 0$aNavigating Careers in Higher Education 606 $aCollege personnel management 606 $aEducation, Higher$xFaculty 606 $aMinorities in higher education 606 $aCollege personnel management$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00867869 606 $aMinorities in higher education$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01741187 615 0$aCollege personnel management. 615 0$aEducation, Higher$xFaculty. 615 0$aMinorities in higher education. 615 7$aCollege personnel management. 615 7$aMinorities in higher education. 676 $a378.1/2089 700 $aChun$b Edna$01587487 701 $aEvans$b Alvin$01533037 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910800125203321 996 $aThe Challenges of Minoritized Contingent Faculty in Higher Education$93875410 997 $aUNINA
