O knihe

A volume in Contemporary Perspectives on Access, Equity and Achievement
Series Editor Chance W. Lewis, University of North Carolina at Charlotte,
Established in 2006, the American Association of Blacks in Higher Education (AABHE), formerly
constituted as the Black Caucus (American Association of Higher Education), has been the consistent voice
of Black issues in academe. According to the stated mission, the AABHE pursues the educational and
professional needs of Blacks in higher education with a focus on leadership, equity, access, achievement and
other vital issues impacting students, faculty, staff, and administrators. AABHE also facilitates and provides opportunities for collaborating and
networking among individuals, institutions, groups and agencies in higher education in the United States and internationally. This 2012 year will mark
the beginning of the AABHE research consortium, an arm of the organization that will advance scholarly research and publications to highlight critical
issues pertinent to the success and uplift of Black populations across the higher education diaspora.
This book will explore important issues across multiple fields-fields represented by the scholars/members of AABHE. AABHE scholars will
contribute chapters based on their disciplinary expertise. The work of Earnest Boyer as articulated in the book Faculty Priorities Reconsidered:
Rewarding Multiple Forms of Scholarship will be used as the conceptual foundation to ground this important work. A particular focus on the elements
of Boyer's seminal work will include chapters devoted to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning; Scholarship of Engagement; Scholarship of
Discovery; and Scholarship of Integration. This scholarly book is unique in that it provides essential insight on how not only faculty, but also
administrators who are invested in insuring that the priorities of the professoriate are aligned with the mission and vision of urban postsecondary
institutions.
