When the Outrage Subsides: Staying Committed to Ending Racism and Racial Inequity
McNair, Tia Brown
Liberal Education, v107 n2 Spr 2021
Continued racial and social injustices--including hate crimes against Asian Americans and other racially minoritized groups; the mounting loss of Black lives from police violence; mass shootings that affect communities of color; efforts to disenfranchise voters of color; and the unequal effects of the COVID-19 pandemic--are heightening awareness of why there is a need to stay focused on racial inequity and racism in society and in higher education. In 2020, Tia Brown McNair along with Estela Mara Bensimon and Lindsey Malcom-Piqueux co-wrote the book, "From Equity Talk to Equity Walk: Expanding Practitioner Knowledge for Racial Justice in Higher Education." They are all deeply committed to eliminating racial inequities and racism in higher education. As the book title indicates, they are also concerned that equity has become a buzzword in higher education without the intentionality necessary to change practices, mindsets, and institutional cultures for equity-conscious transformation. Colleges and universities need to embrace not just the equity "talk" but also the equity "walk." In this article, she describes how educators can take action to combat inequity and racism in higher education.
