Hardback. New. <p><b>Shows that universities' diversity efforts may inadvertently reproduce inequality</b><br /><br />Across universities and colleges diversity is a purported value often accompanied with commitments to equity and inclusion. But how do universities' approaches to diversity affect their efforts to make equitable and inclusive environments<br /><br /><i>The Limits of Diversity</i> compares perspectives of diversity and inclusion among diversity student leaders Asian Americans and LGBTQ students at two college campuses one secular and one evangelical. It argues that secular and religious universities reproduce inequality along multiple lines of social difference through the language and practices of diversity. Though their promotion of diversity may be well-intentioned in practice their approaches reproduce social inequality. The volume offers empirical research on key flash points around diversity to illuminate how our current understandings of diversity are failing and how we can improve and help universities to embrace more equitable approaches. <br /><br />In a post-affirmative action world scholars and activists are beset with the difficult task of re-imagining diversity and creating alternatives to diversity that can lead to social equity in college settings. Chan shows that approaches to diversity that do not center equity fall short. The student narratives presented in<i> The Limits of Diversity</i> challenge us to think about what diverse equitable and inclusive universities can look like.</p> hardcover

Hardback. New. Economics of Faith examines the role of religious leaders in the development of poor relief institutions in early modern Europe. As preachers policy makers advocates and community leaders these reformers offered a new interpretation of salvation and good works that provided the religious foundation for poor relief reform. Although poverty was once associated with the religious image of piety reformers no longer saw it as a spiritual virtue. Rather they considered social welfare reform to be an integral part of religious reform and worked to modify existing poor relief institutions or to set up new ones. Population growth economic crises and migration in early modern Europe caused poverty and begging to be an ever-increasing concern and religious leaders encouraged the development and expansion of poor relief institutions. This new cadre of reformers served as catalysts organizers stabilizers and consolidators of strategies to alleviate poverty the most glaring social problem of early modern society. Although different roles emerged from varying relationships and negotiations with local political authorities and city councils reform-minded ministers and lay leaders shaped a variety of institutions to address the problem of poverty and to promote social and communal responsibility. As religious options multiplied within Christianity one's understanding of community determined the boundaries albeit contested and sometimes fluid of responsible poor relief. This goal of communal care would be especially relevant for religious refugees who as foreigners and strangers became responsible for caring for their own group. hardcover
