From Equity Talk to Equity Walk

PRAISE FOR FROM EQUITY TALK TO EQUITY WALK "Achieving equity in higher education requires clarity of purpose and sustained, purposeful action. The authors of this important new book are steeped in years of experience in both and provide us with insights, information, tactics and strategies presented so readers may move at their own pace. And move we must to make colleges and universities learning environments for all our students to thrive." --Sarita E. Brown, President, Excelencia in Education "No one at any college or university ought to claim a serious commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion without first reading this important book and skillfully implementing its authors' smart recommendations. It overflows with conceptual brilliance, credible evidence, and practically useful strategies." --Shaun R. Harper, Provost Professor and Executive Director, University of Southern California Race and Equity Center " From Equity Talk to Equity Walk is a master class on moving from the theory of the case for equity, to the expansive action that facilitates equity-mindedness, creates an equitable perspective of the way forward in higher education, and measures equitable outcomes for students. McNair, Bensimon and Malcom-Piqueux take the reader through the academic scholarship on equity and the practical application of the same through their direct, unapologetic approach on the matter and first-hand recounting of case studies of their direct work with hundreds of institutions, all in an effort to meet the reader where they are on their equity journey. From Equity Talk to Equity Walk serves as a confirming love letter for the duly-initiated equity walkers as well as a guide and a handbook for the newly-initiated equity talkers!" --Yolanda Watson Spiva, PHD, President, Complete College America
