A collection of essays that provides advice and strategies for BIPOC scholars on how to survive, thrive, and resist in academic institutions.

Conditionally Accepted builds upon an eponymous blog on InsideHigherEd.com, which is now a decade-old national platform for BIPOC academics in the United States. Bringing together perspectives from academics of color on navigating intersecting forms of injustice in the academy, each chapter offers situated knowledge about experiencing--and resisting--marginalization in academia. Contextualized within existing scholarship, these personal narratives speak to institutional betrayals while highlighting agency and sharing stories of surviving on treacherous terrain. Covering topics from professional development to the emptiness of diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, and redefining what it means to be an academic in our contemporary moment, this edited collection directly confronts issues of systemic exclusion, discrimination, harassment, microaggressions, tokenism, and surveillance. Letting marginalized scholars know they are not alone, Conditionally Accepted offers concrete wisdom for readers seeking to navigate and transform oppressive academic institutions.

Industry Reviews

Perhaps what is most interesting about the collection of writings is the diversity among them. There is diversity in terms of the authors' identities, which is rich, but there is also diversity of thought and variety in the way the writings are presented. . . . As readers engage with the diverse voices and experiences within the book, they will be compelled to reflect not only on the struggles of minoritized scholars but also on the collective responsibility to dismantle oppressive structures. The editors remind us that the pursuit of knowledge cannot be divorced from the pursuit of justice. * Forbes *
