opportunities for growth and retention in Christian colleges and universities
Every racial term--including Hispanic, Latino/a and more recently Latinx and Latine--is imperfect and problematic. There is no consensus about what works best. Despite this reality, the lives and stories of non-White faculty are essential to the future of Christian higher education. Filled with triumphs, struggles, and penetrating insights, The Hispanic Faculty Experience explains what it is like to experience the shifting demographics of today's universities, which are bringing increasing numbers of Hispanic students even as the overall number of Hispanic colleagues remains exceedingly small. This book will be expecially useful for leaders who may be unaware of how difficult it is to navigate the challenges of Christian higher education as Hispanic faculty. --back
