部门是关键的干预点,以提高任何学科的多样性,但他们的经验与多样性差异很大。本文探讨了几个地理部门不同的地区,设置和机构类型经历和促进多样性。我们还探索不同类型的机构,特别是少数民族服务机构和赠地学院和大学的地理。我们的结论是,计划提高招聘和留住不同的学生和教师,应明确的结构因素,如机构的背景下,和地理部门的机构作为关键演员之间的联系。
Departments are critical intervention points for enhancing diversity in any academic discipline, yet their experiences related to diversity differ widely. This article explores how several geography departments that vary by region, setting, and institutional type have experienced and promoted diversity. We also explore geography at different types of institutions, particularly minority-serving institutions and land-grant colleges and universities. We conclude that plans for improving the recruitment and retention of diverse students and faculty should make explicit the connection between structural factors, such as institutional contexts, and the agency of geography departments as key actors.
