Sydney Freeman Jr., associate professor of adult organizational learning and leadership at the University of Idaho
After three and a half years as director of a teaching-and-learning center at a historically black university, where I focused on training teachers to be more effective in the classroom, I recently chose to switch lanes. In the fall, I will begin teaching on the tenure track at a predominantly white institution. So I felt it was important for me to build a reading list that would prepare me for that transition. Over the years I have read the seminal work of Kerry Ann Rockquemore and Tracey Laszloffy, The Black Academic’s Guide to Winning Tenure — Without Losing Your Soul and other scholarship, like Sandra Jackson and Richard Greggory Johnson III’s The Black Professoriat: Negotiating a Habitable Space in the Academy.
