In this episode, we talk to Tim Pippert [1], Associate Professor of Sociology at Augsburg College in Minneapolis. In his recent co-authored paper, "We've Got Minorities, Yes We Do: Visual Representations of Racial and Ethnic Diversity In College Recruitment Materials [2]", Pippert explores the over-representation of students of color on college brochures throughout the United States. In this episode, we discuss, the over-representation of students of color in brochures, the motivation of colleges to over-represent, and the meaning of diversity on college campuses.
