Awarded a Bookstore Book Award by the University of Lethbridge Bookstore "The twelve chapters of this book take a comprehensive view of diversity in higher education teaching, learning, and assessment. ... the author provides substantive and exhaustive bulleted lists in each chapter, a diverse set of highlighted good practice accounts, and a full chapter devoted to higher education teacher development. The book is easy to navigate, written in clear prose ... . I would recommend this book highly to teachers and administrators in higher education across the disciplines."
