"When issues of 'diversity' and 'race' arise in higher education scholarship and practice, they frequently mean a focus on students of color. If there are people of color being marginalized on college campuses, there is a structural mechanism facilitating the marginalization. Within this context, this monograph explores the relevance of whiteness to the field of higher education. The problem arises in that whiteness as a racial discourse is continually changing and being reconfigured. That is, whiteness is both real in terms of its impacts on the campus racial dynamics, but it also is fluid and defies absolute classification. Within this context, the current monograph highlights many of the contours of whiteness in higher education, specifically exploring the influence of whiteness on interpersonal interactions, campus climate, culture, ecology, policy, and scholarship. Additionally, it explores what can be done--both individually and institutionally--to address the problem of whiteness in higher education. Ultimately, this monograph is offered from the perspective that racial issues concern everyone, and this engages the possibility of both people of color destabilizing whiteness and white people becoming racial justice allies within the context of higher education institutions"--Back cover.
