While some contributions are stronger than others, as a whole the book achieves its purpose through the insightful and honest author self-reflections. . . .As a whole, the book presents an appropriate and necessary diversity of experiences [such as] race, gender, sexual orientation, discipline. While some chapters were stronger than others, it was a worthwhile book to read and would be a valuable addition to a post-secondary library. * Reflective Teaching *
