TY - GEN T1 - Toxic ivory towers the consequences of work stress on underrepresented minority faculty A1 - Zambrana, Ruth E. LA - English PP - New Brunswick, New Jersey PB - Rutgers University Press YR - 2018 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/ebsco_acadsubs_on1121055516 AB - "Toxic Ivory Towers seeks to document the professional work experiences of underrepresented minority (URM) faculty in U.S. higher education, and simultaneously address the social and economic inequalities in their life course trajectory. 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."-- CN - LB1778.2 .Z35 2018eb SN - 9780813592992 SN - 0813592992 SN - 0813593018 SN - 9780813593012 SN - 9780813592985 SN - 0813592984 SN - 9780813592978 SN - 0813592976 KW - Minority college teachers : United States.
