Does merely inserting diversity into every discourse and every discipline significantly change the social fabric of institutional policies and practices? Dr. Zambrana shares her research on how and why the academic workplace is a toxic one for faculty belong to underrepresented minority groups, and invites us to critically examine the college/university workplace to imagine a truly supportive, inclusive, and diverse community!

The questions:
00:35 1. Name a book you predicted would be five stars but wasn’t.
3:07 2. What book had a great beginning but an ending that let you down?
4:28 3. Do you have a book with a pretty cover but an ugly spine?
5:04 4. Do you have a book series that doesn’t match? Maybe some are paperback and some are hardcover, or maybe the cover designs were changed halfway through the series… Does it bother you?
6:43 5. Is there a book from your youth you can remember parts of but cannot remember the name of or find anywhere?
7:18 6. Are there any books you’re certain you’ve read but cannot remember anything about?
8:02 7. Have you ever recommended a book you love to someone and they started telling you everything they don’t like about it? Does it bother you? In other words: do your feelings get hurt when someone doesn’t love one of your favorite books?
9:07 8. What is your worst experience loaning a book to someone?
9:57 9. Show me some of your impulse buys that you’ve never read. You know the ones… the ones you bought at midnight while online shopping or when you were walking through a bookstore and the magic of all the books made you grab a few too many. And we can’t forget all those books at “such a good price” that somehow make it into our shopping bags.
10:57 10. Just to make you hate me a little bit more: How many unread books are on your shelves?
