Beskrivning
This volume provides educators with an understanding of challenges associated with equity and inclusion at higher education institutions globally and with evidence-based strategies for addressing the challenges associated with implementing equity and inclusion. Higher education institutions continue to address an increasingly complex set of issues regarding equity, diversity and inclusion; many face increasing pressure to find innovative solutions for eliminating access and participation barriers and mitigating practices that impede access, persistence, retention, and graduation rates in higher education. Using comparative international perspectives, this volume looks at how different nations and cultures experience power, privilege, identity, and inclusion with respect to participation in tertiary education, with a specific focus on gender identities.

Recensioner i media

The editors have effectively presented cases from a global perspective that support inclusive teaching and leadership. Higher education, on a world-scale, is in desperate need of these illuminating cases; each chapter offers what higher education researchers are finding and recommending in various educational settings, including South Africa, Nepal, Puerto Rico, and Israel. The overall message to higher education administrators rests on the UNESCO platform of universal access and equity, and we would do well to take this comprehensive approach in our policies and practices.
