Description  
Essays and reflections to spark work toward change Addressing both veterans of justice work and novices seeking points of entry, the essays in this volume showcase practical approaches to diversity, equity, and inclusion: ways to build community, earn trust, tell unheard stories, and develop solutions to problems. Emphasizing values such as empathy, self-reflection, and integrity, the volume is rooted in humanities work but also features contributions from fields as diverse as the performing arts, architecture, and evolutionary biology and represents settings beyond the college campus, such as schools, libraries, museums, and prisons. While bringing insights from higher education, it critiques the system as well, exploring the ways that institutions reinforce power structures and exclude marginalized voices. Interspersed with the essays, brief reflections by activists and artists offer testimony and inspiration. Neal A. Lester, "Introduction"; Ronald Mason, Jr., "The Cost of the System of White Supremacy"; David Pilgrim, "Our Turn"; John Streamas, "Overselling Higher Education to Communities of Color"; Anke Pinkert, "Social Justice Ecologies: Charting Routes for Public Humanities and Postprison Education"; Jess Roberts, "Earned Trust and Albion's Big Read"; Josh Greene, "The Power of Design Justice"; Lore/tta Lemaster, "After Inclusion: A Trans Relational Meditation on (Un)Belonging"; Simon J.
