Abstract

As the prior chapters have indicated, there is a need for equity and more inclusion in higher education to prevent and eradicate all forms of microaggressions. Although there have been advances in many sectors of society within the United States in the 21st century, much progress remains in higher education. Current efforts to address disparities and create more inclusive environments have had profound effects for students, faculty, staff, administrators, and stakeholders; yet barriers toward continuing our positive progression remain. This chapter provides an overview of equity and inclusion in higher education, case examples based on faculty experiences with microaggressions, resources, and recommendations that can be utilized when addressing microaggressions faced by African American faculty for positive outcomes toward equity and inclusion now and in the future.
