Extremely narrowly focused， by choice。 There is no conversation about justice or equity。 The goal is simply to hire "the best faculty" and the book provides evidence that cognitive bias prevents academic institutions from actually recruiting， hiring， retaining "the best faculty。" Choosing to make this argument is quite tactical。This is a book that will speak to a broad set of people who may or may not care about racial justice or gender equity or disability and access。 It will get them to -- out Extremely narrowly focused， by choice。 There is no conversation about justice or equity。 The goal is simply to hire "the best faculty" and the book provides evidence that cognitive bias prevents academic institutions from actually recruiting， hiring， retaining "the best faculty。" Choosing to make this argument is quite tactical。This is a book that will speak to a broad set of people who may or may not care about racial justice or gender equity or disability and access。 It will get them to -- out of self interest in hiring "the best" -- to make practical changes in hiring practices which will ultimately lead to more diverse hires。This book will not change hearts or minds about justice and equity。 I'm okay with this， because the arguments in this book are a pragmatic strategy to get the desired outcomes （a more diverse faculty）。 。。。more

This is pretty dense reading， but is a must-read for anyone interested in increasing diversity at universities。 Stewart and Valian not only talk about the problems for women and minorities in the University， but they also provide tested， clear cut approaches for improving diversity and inclusing/belonging。 I'll post a link to my review for LARB here when it's published。My BLARB review is here: http://blog。lareviewofbooks。org/revie。。。 This is pretty dense reading， but is a must-read for anyone interested in increasing diversity at universities。 Stewart and Valian not only talk about the problems for women and minorities in the University， but they also provide tested， clear cut approaches for improving diversity and inclusing/belonging。 I'll post a link to my review for LARB here when it's published。My BLARB review is here: http://blog。lareviewofbooks。org/revie。。。 。。。more
