As a visible minority educator, I am always interested in analyzing the personal tensions, environmental barriers, and imaginative possibilities that exist when embracing equity- and diversity-conscious approaches to teaching, learning, and interacting in higher education institutions. In Whose University Is It, Anyway? Power and Privilege on Gendered Terrain, these areas of tension are treated as creative spaces to draw from the work of feminists who use this site as a site for power and new knowledge production.
