What problem or issue is being addressed?
The problem addressed in Antonio’s “Faculty of Color Reconsidered: Reassessing Contributions to Scholarship” is the paucity of faculty members of color in collegiate settings. The author is examining the phenomenon in which there are few members of historic minority groups for race and ethnicity as faculty members in these environments. He is attempting to assess the effect that this phenomenon has on the quality and type of scholarship occurring in colleges and universities within the U.S. as a result of this shortfall. Implicit within this problem is the effect of a lack of diversity in teaching in university and collegiate environments.
What are the main research questions?
The main research question is “How do faculty of color and white faculty differ with respect to their involvement in and commitment to…scholarship,” (Antonio, 2002, p. 584). However, the author examines this question in the context of four different facets of scholarship. These include the “discovery, integration, application and teaching of knowledge” (Antonio, 2002, p. 584). The author is examining these factors as they relate to the way in which faculty belonging to the aforementioned codifications—colored and non-colored—approach...
These were identified in the above section. This framework illuminates the research question because it provides the context for defining just what exactly scholarship is. It does so by focusing on the imparting of knowledge of the professorship. Next, the author attained data from the 1995 faculty survey with statistical variables pertaining to each of the four factors. He compared the results of those variables among faculty members of color and of non-color.
What are the main findings? To what extent are they expected or surprising? How so?
The main findings of the research is that faculty of color are more likely to place a higher degree of importance on the four aspects of scholarship identified by the author than their counterparts (Antonio, 2002, p. 591). Perhaps the lone exception to this finding is the fact that faculty of European descent are more likely to have been published (in scholarly, peer-reviewed journals) than faculty of color are. However, faculty of color spend more time researching, and seem to get more…

South Africa consequently had to arrange for a down payment of $600 million at a rate perceived to be extraordinarily high. It was too late for the country to induce any negotiations of the deal. Serious agreements ensued thus maneuvering South Africa to pay back much of the nation's hard currency debt in a short period. This led to the emergence of a new democratic regime stemming from an
Finding a common ground among all in the group is a positive and productive approach. In dealing with attitudes and/or behaviors when designing a diversity training program, an effective approach is to start with a clear statement of goals and/or values. For example, "Participants have an absolute right to state how they see things, in complete safety, so long as boundaries for good taste are reasonably observed" (Karp et al.,
Aspects of identity that might have been denied or denigrated because of colonial mentalities can resurface and be admired. Discourse on gender and social class has also deepened and enabled identity constructions to flourish outside the confines of proscribed gender roles. Culture changes, and so too does identity. The values placed on identity aspects like religion have shifted too, making religion a less salient part of people's identity. On
Racism Personal anecdotes related to the experience of prejudice are usually the most effective means of convincing an audience that prejudice exists, and that it is painful. Moreover, an effective author connects the issue of prejudice to broader issues that all readers can relate to regardless of their personal experiences. Thus, it is important to show how the society suffers from prejudice too. African-American authors are in the position of sharing

This meant that men held positions of power and authority in all the public spheres including economics/business, politics/the law, and the bearing of arms. Men also possessed social status that women did not have, enabling the perpetuation of a patriarchal society.
