Why do we see so little progress in diversifying faculty at America's colleges,
universities, and professional schools? This second edition explores that important question and provides steps
for hastening faculty diversity. Drawing on her extensive consulting practice and expertise as well as research and scholarship
from several fields, Dr. Moody provides practical and feasible ways to improve faculty recruitment, retention, and mentorship---especially
of under-represented women in science-related fields and non-immigrant (U.S. domestic) minorities in all fields.
This revised edition includes:
*New strategies to prevent unintended cognitive bias and errors that damange faculty
recruitment and retention
*Expanded discussion on the importance of different cultural contexts, political and
historical experiences inhabited and inherited by non-immigrant U.S. faculty and students
*More testimonials and
on-the-ground reflections from faculty, administrators, and leaders in higher education, with new attention to medical schools
and other professional schools
*Updated Appendix with Discussion Scenarios and Practice Exercises useful to search
and evaluation committees, department chairs, deans, faculty sentates, and diversity councils
*Expanded chapter
on mentoring that dispels myths about informal mentoring and underlines essential components for formal programs.
This is an essential, reliable, and eye-opening guide for colleges, medical and other professional
schools that are frustrated in their efforts to diversify their faculty.

"This book provides an incredible set of resources for any campus whishing to improve not only the faculty
hiring and search process but also retention. Dr. Moody brings a wealth of scholarly expertise to her task as well as knowledge
of day-to-day practices gained through her extenive consulting work with faculty and administrators. both conceptual and eminently
practical---a terrific combination."
Daryl Smith, Professor of Education
and Psychology, Claremont Graduate University; author of Diversity's Promise for Higher Education,
"A must read! Dr. Moody clearly knows what she is talking about. I am especially impressed with
her honesty, specificity, and keen insights. This book leads to our taking a fresh look at current practices and offers concrete
suggestions for removing barriers and biases. Dr. Moody is wise to give attention to the abysmally small number of native-born
minorities entering the professoriate."
Freeman Hrabowski, President, University
of Maryland-Baltimore County and co-founder of the Meyerhoff Scholars Program.
