Teaching Diversity is different from other instruction. Rather than reporting objective themes or imparting detached information on new management techniques, diversity teaching involves questioning our institutions and policies, our definitions of truth and equity, our self-images, and our professional roles. It requires a deep personal journey of self-discovery and growth. Teaching Diversity explores that journey. This book offers instructors a map to the diversity terrain, helping them choose a personal teaching path, recognize crossroads, anticipate roadblocks, and sustain personal commitment along the way. This creative and collaborative effort will benefit you professionally and touch you personally. The contributors--women and men from a wide range of ages, cultures, and backgrounds--take a unique look at the paradoxes inherent in the diversity teaching process. Through heartfelt accounts of their own experiences, they provide grounded insights and sound advice about how to prepare for the kind of teaching that changes lives.

An invaluable resource for students of higher education leadership!" --MAUREEN SULLIVAN, Past President, American Library Association and Association of College and Research Libraries "Reframing Academic Leadership provides a compassionate understanding of the stresses of leadership in higher education. It offers insights to those who do not fully appreciate why higher education is so hard to 'manage' and validation for those entirely familiar with this world. I recommend it enthusiastically." --JUDITH BLOCK MCLAUGHLIN, Senior lecturer on education and faculty chair of the Harvard Seminar for New Presidents and the Harvard Seminar for Presidential Leadership, Harvard Graduate School of Education "Bolman and Gallos provide a refreshing view of leadership essential for those assuming presidencies and other important leadership positions in higher education.
