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?

" Asian/American Scholars of Education: 21st Century Pedagogies, Perspectives, and Experiences traces a path that is largely hidden and, by doing so, breaks open paths for new scholars and scholarship. This extraordinarily important text amplifies the voices of Asian professors and illuminates their experiences, thus lighting the way for emerging researchers, mentors, and teachers. Drawing on the work of academic luminaries, the contributors challenge stereotypes, creating opportunities for readers to do the same. This book contributes to the efforts of all educators who see our work as related to equity and justice." - Julie A. Gorlewski, Ph.D., Editor of English Journal
