Transforming the Academy
Faculty Perspectives on Diversity and Pedagogy
Edited by Sarah Willie-LeBreton
Rutgers University Press
Transforming the Academy brings together faculty members from many different backgrounds—male and female, cisgender and queer, immigrant and native-born, white, black, multiracial, and other—to examine the state of diversity within the American university. Whether describing challenging power dynamics within their classrooms or recounting protests that occurred on their campuses, the book’s contributors offer bracingly honest inside accounts of both the conflicts and the learning experiences that can emerge from being a representative of diversity.
A New Deal for the Humanities
Liberal Arts and the Future of Public Higher Education
Edited by Gordon Hutner and Feisal G. Mohamed
Rutgers University Press
A New Deal for the Humanities brings together twelve prominent scholars who shed light on the many concerns swirling around the humanities today—exploring the history of the liberal arts in America, their present state, and their future direction. The volume focuses on public higher education, for it is in our state schools that the liberal arts are taught to the greatest numbers, where the decline of those fields would be most damaging, and where their strength is most threatened.
Rutgers since 1945
A History of the State University of New Jersey

In Rutgers since 1945, historian Paul G. E. Clemens chronicles this remarkable transition from the cold war, to the student protests of the 1960s and 1970s, to the growth of political identity on campus, and to the increasing commitment to big-time athletics, all of which are just a few of the innumerable newsworthy elements that have driven Rutgers’s evolution.
