Case Studies in Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in Higher Education: An Internal Perspective is designed to serve as a resource and guide for students studying leadership, higher education, student affairs, and/or ethnic studies. The goal is to connect equity, diversity, inclusion and social justice theories to practice and allow students to actively engage through grappling with diverse issues within a variety of institutional contexts. This collection of cases includes both hypothetical situations and cases highlighting real experiences, programs, and events, Cases illustrate faculty, staff, and students with intersected identities navigating the challenges of the structural inequities inherent in higher education institutions. Using the cases in the classroom or in campus-based training will facilitate the application of theory to practice in small group discussions. Each case also has a written application prompt to allow for deeper research, examination and reflection about the intersections of race, ethnicity gender, class, sexual orientation, immigration status, and position power dynamics created as increasingly diverse groups of students, faculty and staff enter and try to succeed in the academy.
