The Case for Heterodoxy
Yarrison, Betsy Greenleaf
Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council, v20 n1 p25-37 Spr-Sum 2019
Despite being originally designed to educate men, honors programs are not very attractive to male students in general and to male students of color in particular. Because access to honors programs is limited by a credentialing process that favors white men, many members of minority groups find them inhospitable and are significantly underrepresented. This essay suggests three concepts to be used to reimagine honors programs to be more welcoming of minority students: radical hospitality, asset-based thinking, and heterodoxy
