Reparative Universities: Why Diversity Alone Won’t Solve Racism in Higher Ed (Critical University Studies) by Ariana González Stokas
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.0 MB
Overview: A timely investigation of why diversity alone is insufficient in higher education and how universities can use reparative actions to become anti-racist institutions.
As institutions increasingly reckon with histories entangled with slavery and Indigenous dispossession, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts occupy a central role in the strategy and resources of higher education. Yet reparation is rarely offered as a viable strategy for institutional transformation. In Reparative Universities, Ariana González Stokas undertakes a critical and decolonial analysis of DEI work, linking contemporary practices of diversity to longer colonial histories. González Stokas argues that diversity is an insufficient concept for efforts concerned with anti-oppression, anti-racism, equity, and decolonization. Given its historical ties to colonialism, can higher education foster reconciliation and healing?
