"An honest confrontation of systemic racism in faculty hiring-and what to do about itWhile colleges and universities have been lauded for increasing student diversity, these same institutions have failed to achieve any comparable diversity among their faculty. In 2017, of the nation's full-time, tenure-track and tenured faculty, only 3 percent each were Black men, Black women, Hispanic men, and Hispanic women. Only 6 percent were Asian/Pacific Islander men, 5 percent were Asian/Pacific Islander women, and 1 percent were American Indian/Alaska Native. Why are the numbers so abysmal? In Doing the Right Thing, Marybeth Gasman takes a hard, insightful look at the issues surrounding the recruitment and hiring of faculty of color. Relying on national data and interviews with provosts, deans, and department chairs from sixty major universities, Gasman documents the institutional forces stymieing faculty diversification, and she makes the case for how such deficiencies can and should be rectified.Even as institutions publicly champion inclusive excellence and the number of doctoral students of color increases, Gasman reveals the entrenched constraints contributing to the faculty status quo. Impediments to progress include the alleged trade-off between quality and diversity, the power of pedigree, the rigidity of academic pipelines, the failures of administrative leadership, the lack of accountability among administration and faculty, and the opacity and arbitrariness of the recruitment and hiring process. Gasman contends that leaders must acknowledge institutional failures of inclusion, pervasive systemic racism, and biases that restrict people of color from pursuing faculty careers.Recognizing that individuals from all backgrounds are essential to the creation and teaching of knowledge, Doing the Right Thing puts forth a concrete call for colleges and universities to take action and do better"-- "An honest confrontation of systemic racism in faculty hiring-and what to do about it.

From award-winning author and ornithologist Tim Birkhead, a sweeping history of the long and close relationship between birds and humans. Since the dawn of human history, birds have stirred our imagination, inspiring and challenging our ideas about science, faith, art, and philosophy. We have worshipped birds as gods, hunted them for sustenance, adorned ourselves with their feathers, studied their wings to engineer flight, and, more recently, attempted to protect them. In Birds and Us, award-winning writer and ornithologist Tim Birkhead takes us on a dazzling epic journey through our mutual history with birds, from the ibises mummified and deified by Ancient Egyptians to the Renaissance fascination with woodpecker anatomy—and from the Victorian obsession with egg collecting to today’s fight to save endangered species and restore their habitats. Spanning continents and millennia, Birds and Us chronicles the beginnings of a written history of birds in ancient Greece and Rome, the obsession with falconry in the Middle Ages, and the development of ornithological science. Moving to the twentieth century, the book tells the story of the emergence of birdwatching and the field study of birds, and how they triggered an extraordinary flowering of knowledge and empathy for birds, eventually leading to today’s massive worldwide interest in birds—and the realization of the urgent need to save them. Weaving in stories from Birkhead’s life as scientist, including far-flung expeditions to wondrous Neolithic caves in Spain and the bustling guillemot colonies of the Faroe Islands, this rich and fascinating book is an unforgettable account of how birds have shaped us, and how we have shaped them.

"Over the last century, many Asian countries have experienced a remarkable transformation, including rapid economic growth, industrialization and urbanization, and spectacular development. One of the world's poorest regions has become its richest. Terming those countries in Asia that have experienced this growth "developmental Asia," Slater and Wong explore the puzzle of why only about half of the region has moved from authoritarianism toward democracy (despite the global correlation between development and democratization) and why we see no clear connection between levels of economic development and levels of democracy (as existing theories of democracy would expect). The authors' central argument is that Asia's most common pathway to democracy has been democracy through strength, with incumbent authoritarian regimes opening themselves up to free and fair electoral competition as a way of shoring up their own power-an argument that contrasts sharply with the conventional notion that dictators only give way under the most extreme, even existential pressures. With a focus specifically on the countries that did democratize, the authors demonstrate through detailed historical case studies that the strength of authoritarian regimes before democratization is reflected in democratic success afterwards. The authors also consider the implications for those states that have failed to democratize, most notably China. The result is a sweeping regional history that offers new insights on when and how democratic transitions happen, and what the future of Asia might look like"--
