Margaret Kumar – författare

This edited collection interrogates notions of curriculum, inclusivity, diversity, and cultures of learning in higher education from a variety of cultural backgrounds and educational perspectives.

Bringing together an international selection of contributors from a range of disciplines, this book presents different avenues for rethinking the foundational base of cultures of learning while emphasising the importance of interculturality. The crux of the book lies in the fact that the contributors, living through complex cultures, speak/write from their own experiences of seeing, knowing, and doing. Through insights presented by the authors, the book promotes a broadened and deeper understanding of teaching and learning across diverse fields, including alternative knowledge, creative arts, education, technology, STEM, study skills, and environmental sustainability. Arguing for the need to review curriculum issues and policies at both an institutional and national level, it highlights the importance of creating collaborative spaces for constructing new and alternative scholarship and methods within higher education. Supported by case studies and examples of teaching practice, the text reveals the current state of educational and cultural changes and challenges for students and educators in higher education while looking towards the future.

This book is a requisite text for academics, researchers, policymakers, support staff, and postgraduate students in higher education.

This book approaches notions of Being, Interculturality and New Knowledge Systems, through a team of expert contributors who share their evidence-based knowledge constructed within diverse geo-political borders. It explores the disjuncture, assumptions, and beliefs associated with the concepts of Being, Interculturality and New Knowledge Systems, to reveal avenues for reconsidering untapped bodies of knowledge and how they are being positioned within teaching, learning and researching in higher education.

This volume is built on conceptual and theoretical insights from a range of different disciplines, and explores the social-historical underpinnings of Being, ''becoming'' and ''to be''. The book deepens understanding on Indigeneity and how culturally diverse, environmentally sustaining, interculturally and transnationally unprecedented, alternative knowledges have long been disregarded as globally irrelevant and intellectually insignificant. It attempts to address the missing connections between what is recognised as ''global knowledge'' and the locally situated, underrepresented knowledges that are being constructed within diverse types of peripheries across contexts.

This edited volume is essential reading for academics, researchers, policy-makers and students in higher education.
