This book addresses a lacuna in the professional literature. It is rich in information, grounded in research, and reflective of many faculty members’ experiences. It educates, provides ways to engage in discussion, illuminates cultural and structural influences, and suggests strategies at numerous levels for action. Incredible and rich… A great resource for any university, any faculty, any administrator, any union!​” ​
