Recensioner i media

With diversity and exclusion of people increasing worldwide, meaningful transformation of students occur when they are taught to critically think about the assumptions, beliefs, and worldviews in which they operate. In this sense, identity can be viewed as one’s own personal histories of becoming and belonging and the negotiation of meanings between them. University group communities can definitely help increase our understanding of ourselves through our social interactions. This book emphasizes the importance of social settings and social interactions in the learning process of equity and inclusion of university students. Well done!
