Implications of Race and Racism in Student Evaluations of Teaching

Implications of Race and Racism in Student Evaluations of Teaching: The Hate U Give highlights practices in higher education, such as using student evaluations of teaching to inform merit increases, contract renewals, and promotion decisions. This collection deconstructs student course feedback to reveal the implications of race and racism that students seem to have inherited through the sociopolitical context of US culture and K-12 schooling. This hate that students were given informs and shapes the students' relationships with BIPOC faculty in the classroom. To this end, this book speaks to the systemic racial inequity in higher education learning spaces and the possibilities of reimagining student evaluations as a cry for a more just and equitable society.
