Summary

Asian/American Scholars of Education: 21st Century Pedagogies, Perspectives, and Experiences shares the knowledge and travails of Asian/American luminaries in the field of education. This unique collection of essays acknowledges the struggle that Asian/American Education scholars have faced when it comes to being regarded as legitimate scholars deserving of endowed or distinguished status. The chapter contributors in this volume include former doctoral students, children, protégés, and colleagues of the Asian/American endowed and distinguished professors featured in the book: A. Lin Goodwin, Suzanne SooHoo, Kioh Kim, Krishna Bista, George Sugai, Yali Zou, Yong Zhao, Robert Teranishi, Asha K. Jitendra, Shouping Hu, and Ming Ming Chiu. Asian/American Scholars of Education makes an important impact by asking: Why are there so few Asian/American endowed and distinguished faculty members in education?

Foreword

SYDNEY FREEMAN, JR.

As a millennial who has a goal of becoming an endowed or distinguished professor, I was excited, humbled, and honored when Drs. Nicholas D. Hartlep, Amardeep K. Kahlon, and Daisy Ball asked me to write this foreword. Having written and read extensively about the professoriate, particularly the Black faculty career trajectory, I am very familiar with the many gains that Black faculty have made in ascending to the highest echelons of academe through endowed chair (EC) and distinguished professorship (DP) positions. My exposure to this topic has caused me to have deep concerns about the lack of purposive and strategic development of the next generation of scholars of color and the ways in which they are socialized and supported.

If purposive and strategic development of scholars of color is a goal of academe, as it should be, it is useful to look to the experiences and contributions of those who have succeeded by advancing to the highest echelons of the academy. This unique and important book works toward this goal by providing Asian/American EC/DPs with a platform from which to share their unique experiences, advice, and strategies for a new generation of scholars. This intergenerational text honors the contributions of these trailblazers and suggests a way forward for scholars of color who hope to reach “the mountaintop of the academy” (Thompson, Bonner, & Lewis, 2016).

Asian/American faculty are an oft-overlooked group within the academy, but for a curious reason Asian/Americans are most often associated with the “model ← xv | xvi → minority” stereotype (Poon et al., 2016). As such, they are presumed to be academic superstars, which obfuscates the fact that they are the victims of institutionalized racism (Liu, 2009). This book lays bare the facts, and confirms that Asian/American faculty—as all faculty of color—face institutionalized barriers to success, even those who have earned EC/DP positions. The paucity of literature on this topic further confirms the need for this compendium of seminal scholarship.
