David J. Luke, PhD

In November of 2024, I had the privilege of serving as keynote speaker for the Michigan Sociological Association’s annual meeting. That keynote is now in print in the Spring 2026 issue of the Michigan Sociological Review: jstor.org/stable/48860886

Got a great package in the mail today, a nursing textbook that I wrote a chapter for. Not the type of thing I would have ever predicted, but I am fortunate to collaborate with great colleagues.

Happy to see this review of my book on Amazon (Canada). If you read it, please consider leaving a review too: amazon.com/gp/aw/d/103231…

Excited to return to my alma mater to talk with the sociology department next month!

@flintandgenesee recently released its 40 Under 40 listing for 2024, and I’m excited to share that I am included. Check out my profile below! #FGG40Under40 and.flintandgenesee.org/dr-david-j-luk…

@tandfhss @StefanKipfer1 @GioPicker 'All of this is to say that @DrDavidJLuke's book offers much to contemplate about whether and how #Diversity policy can make a difference in #HigherEducation institutions.' Read @AYoungJr's review here: doi.org/10.1080/014198…

As noted in this article and as I have also observed, many of the attacks on DEI are based on misunderstanding or mischaracterization of what DEI offices on college and university campuses actually do. latimes.com/opinion/story/…

hbr.org/2023/10/10-rea… A good brief article for those who need to generate buy-in for DEI beyond the moral rationale.

My forthcoming book argues Canadian institutions have not been absent of racism, but that multiculturalism has caused them to be racism-blind. #DEI #PWI #affirmativeaction #Sociology #highereducation #multiculturalism #canada routledge.com/Affirmative-Ac…

@Popeye7746 So you think the court and interpretation of law is non-partisan? That’s what this post said. But yes, your hypothetical situation would be problematic and unfair. And absent affirmative action, that student may well be passed over for being the wrong color.

@DrDavidJLuke You're a 🤡 it's unfavorable to that Asian kid with a perfect 1600 sat score being passed over because his skins the wrong color.

All these Supreme Court decisions are 6-3, but the court is supposedly non-partisan. Law is always subject to (and reified by) the interpretation of those in power.

I shared my thoughts on the impact of the Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action today. Here’s one of the interviews. wnem.com/2023/06/29/loc…
