Faculties: A Dialogue on Inciting Constructive Change in Destructive Times

Faculties is a call to action, a sourcebook, and a how-to guide for academic colleagues who want to contribute to the administrative and educational decisions being made about the future of our institutions. There is no going back to the version of US higher education that existed a couple of decades or even a couple of years ago. Cathy N. Davidson and Jody Greene encourage faculty and allies to incite and participate in change, offering models of successful, constructive collaboration at a destructive and demoralizing time for higher education. Presented in the form of dialogues between Davidson and Greene, two of higher education's most innovative leaders, Faculties focuses on the urgency of coalition building, providing data and analyses of the structural, financial, ideological, and organizational circumstances that can support or inhibit productive change in colleges, universities, and research institutions. Faculties retains a welcoming, conversational tone while incorporating extensive references and citations and addressing drastic changes to higher education, offering the evidence and inspiration needed to enact institutional transformation now.
