Sun, April 10, 2:45 to 4:15pm, Convention Center, Floor: Level One, Room 146 C

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

In this session, prominent scholars in the field of higher education will reflect on 100 years of higher education inequity, 1916-2016. Each scholar will address a 25-year time span (1916-1940; 1941-1965; 1966-1990; 1991-present) and highlight prominent equity issues and populations most affected; the extent to which the issues have been addressed; how equity issues have changed; and the longstanding issues that remain. Each will offer a set of recommendations for bringing greater awareness to higher education inequities through public scholarship. Audience members will be invited to discuss the role of research and policy toward realizing equity.
