"Research demonstrates that faculty of color in historically white institutions experience higher levels of discrimination, cultural taxation, and emotional labor than their white colleagues. Despite efforts to recruit minority faculty, all of these factors undermine their scholarship, pedagogy, social experiences, promotion, and retention. This edited volume builds upon existing research on faculty of color; however, it also departs from the existing literature and unravels the socio-emotional experiences of being in front of the classroom, in labs, and in the ivory tower for faculty who are in multiple racialized social locations, In an effort to circulate the experiences of faculty of color more widely to academic and non-academic audiences, this edited volume replaces conventional scholarly technical papers with unconventionally accessible letters."--Back cover
