Description
Book SynopsisThis second edition of Asian/American Scholars of Education: 21st Century Pedagogies, Perspectives, and Experiences shares an updated number of Asian/American luminaries in the field of education. The updated collection of essays and national data analyses acknowledges the struggle that Asian/American education scholars have faced when it comes to being regarded as legitimate scholars deserving of endowed or distinguished status in the field of education. The chapter contributors in this second edition include postdoctoral mentees, former students, and colleagues of the newly added Asian/American endowed and distinguished professors featured in the book: Hua-Hua Chang, Nicholas D. Hartlep, Guofang Li, Justin Perry, and Kui Xie. Asian/American Scholars of Education makes an important impact by continuing to ask: Why are there so few Asian/American endowed and distinguished faculty members in education?
Trade Review“Nicholas D. Hartlep, Daisy Ball, and Kevin E. Wells and their second edition of
Asian/American Scholars of Education 21st Century Pedagogies, Perspectives, and Experiences place their field-shifting perspectives on the engagements of Asian American faculty in Academe who have received named professorships. Hartlep, Ball, and Wells stand on the shoulders of the giants in the field—Derald Wing Sue, Robert Teranishi, and Mitchell Chang among others—to gain an aerial view of the higher education landscape that has been at best sparsely occupied, and at worst bereft of literature that speaks to the Asian American experience. Their tome unapologetically provides intellectual space to problematize pedagogical approaches, as well as experiential and perspectival engagements through the narratives shared by these named professors.”—Dr. Fred A. Bonner II, Professor and Endowed Chair, Whitlowe R. Green College of Education, Prairie View A&M University
