What does diversity do? What are we doing when we use the language of diversity? Sara Ahmed offers an account of the diversity world based on interviews with diversity practitioners in higher education, as well as her own experience of doing diversity work. Diversity is an ordinary, even unremarkable, feature of institutional life. Yet diversity practitioners often experience institutions as resistant to their work, as captured through their use of the metaphor of the "brick wall". On Being Included offers an explanation of this apparent paradox.

Ableism is embedded in our daily lives. Social life, education, work, and, especially, mental health have been organized around rigid ideas of the "ideal" and the "normal" citizen—ideas that always exclude neurodiversity. In this pathbreaking book, Chantelle Jessica Lewis and Jason Arday argue that the neurodiversity movement offers ways to mobilize against not only ableism but also other "isms" including racism and capitalism.

Black, Brown, Bruised reveals the challenges that underrepresented racially minoritized students confront in order to succeed in these exclusive, usually all-White, academic and professional realms. The book provides searing accounts of racism inscribed on campus, in the lab, and on the job, and portrays learning and work environments as arenas rife with racial stereotyping, conscious and unconscious bias, and micro-aggressions.

Blue to Gold Law Enforcement Training was developed around the concept that expensive legal mistakes can be avoided by offering relevant, high-energy training that is relatable to every street officer. The majority of legal training is taught by instructors who often do not have law enforcement experience, and this inhibits their ability to translate vital doctrines into ways that cops “just get it.” As a result, officers become more confused and uncertain about their legal decisions and return to the business-as-usual method.

Welcome to the world of visualization where children learn to learn better, achieve more, and build confidence. What happens when the formal school years hit? Why do so many struggle in school, a place where their curiosity should be encouraged to grow? Too many children are frustrated with the basic academic subjects: reading, writing, spelling, and math. Your child may become a master of avoiding tasks, stressed or anxious or have a behavioral problem. No more.

The college classroom is inevitably influenced by, and in turn influences, the world around it. In the United States, this means the complex topic of race can come into play in ways that are both explicit and implicit.

Savannah Shange explores the potential for reconciling the Robeson Justice Academy's marginalization of Black students with its sincere pursuit of multiracial uplift and solidarity. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and six years of experience teaching at the school, Shange outlines how it fails its students and the community because it operates within a space predicated on antiblackness. Seeing San Francisco as a social laboratory for how Black communities survive the end of their worlds, Shange argues for abolition over revolution or reform as the needed path toward Black freedom.
