“This book is a must-read for educators ready for the next big step in their teaching and curriculum design.”—Carol A. Hurney, Associate Provost, Faculty Development & Diversity, Colby College “Cook-Sather’s research has been both radically innovative and universally accessible. This new work offers a compelling argument for engaging practices of co-creation to implement a practice of equity and justice in higher education. It is essential reading for instructors, institutional leaders, and staff, as well as students.”—Steven S. Volk, Co-director, Consortium for Teaching and Learning, Great Lakes Colleges Association “In this important book, Cook-Sather uses deep research and personal stories to show that students can—and should—be positioned as partners with faculty, staff, and administrators in co-constructing inclusive teaching and learning. As she demonstrates, student voice is essential to co-creating equity and justice in higher education.”—Peter Felten, Center for Engaged Learning, Elon University, Co-author, Relationship-Rich Education: How Human Connections Drive Success in College “To move the needle in higher education towards more equitable learning environments, we need to use strategies that demonstrate impact. This book highlights the critical importance of integrating student voices, a powerful approach that can lead to transformation at the course through the institutional level.”—Tracie Marcella Addy, Associate Dean of Teaching & Learning, Lafayette College
