Shades of Excellence: Stories from Scholars of Color In-Person
Shades of Excellence is a powerful collection of personal narratives, reflections, and creative pieces that bring to life the journeys of scholars of color as students, professors, and professionals. Set against today’s debates over affirmative action and diversity initiatives, the book highlights both the structural barriers and the remarkable achievements of scholars working within predominantly white institutions. Grounded in research yet deeply personal, the volume celebrates resilience and innovation while offering practical guidance for aspiring scholars, current faculty, and institutional leaders seeking to foster a more inclusive academic environment. Join Dr. Christiana Best, Dr. Melissa-Sue John, Dr. Vangella Buchanan, and Dr. Kaydian Reid, the editors of this volume, for a book discussion and signing. For adults and older teens.
