MOUNT VERNON, Wash. — Skagit Valley College proudly congratulates Dr. Farhana Loonat,
political science and philosophy instructor, on the publication of her new book, “Equity
and Inclusion Through Policy and Practice,” published by Bloomsbury.
In this timely and forward-thinking work, Loonat moves beyond simply describing the challenges faced by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPoC) in historically white academic spaces. Drawing from her lived experience and extensive scholarship, she offers practical examples and actionable recommendations aimed at creating meaningful, lasting change within higher education institutions.
“Equity and Inclusion Through Policy and Practice” provides a roadmap for institutions seeking to move from intention to implementation. Through thoughtful analysis and clear guidance, Loonat outlines concrete steps that colleges and universities can take to foster truly inclusive environments where all students, faculty, and staff can thrive.
Loonat’s work reflects SVC’s ongoing commitment to access and student success and contributes to important national conversations about institutional responsibility and systemic transformation in higher education.
The book is available through Bloomsbury and other major book retailers.
Please join us in celebrating Loonat’s significant accomplishment and her continued leadership in advancing equity and inclusion in higher education.
