Abstract
The current scholarship model in higher education has been conceived, produced,
and reproduced in the image of the dominant culture. The values, behaviors,
and expectations for the academy have been forged by a university
culture that is "relatively homogeneous by race, ethnicity, and gender."
Although ethnic racial minorities are outnumbered by both while females
and males, white males, by virtue of their numbers in rank and other positions
of power, are the dominant members of the academic community.
Individuals whose characteristics differ from those of the dominant group
members are less likely to receive recognition, sponsorship, favorable
procedural evaluation, or positive commentary on their scholarship. The purpose
of this paper is to discuss considerations for a more inclusive scholarship
in the academy.
