Full Description
This seminal collection of essays captures and celebrates the distinct insights, experiences, and accomplishments of educational developers of color (EDC) across the USA and Canada.
Perspectives of Educational Developers of Color is the first volume to focus on the growing number of EDC, their stories, career trajectories, and contributions in the field. EDC often provide support for students, faculty, and staff of color while also responding to the ever-evolving needs of the institution to create a more equitable, inclusive, and accessible environment.
In highlighting the perspectives of EDC across diverse, intersecting identities, this text brings to the forefront strategies that institutions can implement to strengthen their support and cultivate a sense of belonging in their communities.
