Angela Calise’s perceptive new book explores the high-stakes world of leadership elites based on race, gender, and class in higher education and offers invaluable strategies for advancing social justice based on in-depth interviews. Calise skilfully interweaves individual narratives with concrete tables that identify six essential frameworks for countering roadblocks to achieving leadership success in higher education. Her illumination of mindsets, barriers, and catalysts within the current educational landscape provides concrete and pragmatic insights for advancing and sustaining inclusive leadership practices. Edna Chun, Chief Learning Officer, HigherEd Talent; Columbia University School of Professional Studies As minoritized students caught in the maelstrom of warring political groups face a rollback of their most basic rights and protections, the role of elites in higher education has never been more important to examine and direct. In her timely and relevant research, Dr Calise exposes the problems the intersection of racism, classism, and sexism creates for students and, more importantly, provides practical strategies for addressing these problems head-on. Race, Class, Gender, and the Struggle for Social Justice in Higher Education is an essential guide for leaders and scholars of higher education alike. Alida Miranda-Wolff, best-selling author of Cultures of Belonging: Building Inclusive Organizations That Last and The First-Time Manager: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
