Equity in Higher Education
In a global context of growing inequality and socio-environmental crises, Equity in Higher Education considers the issues and challenges for progressing an equity agenda.
It advances a unique multidimensional framework based on theoretical and conceptual threads, including critical, feminist, decolonial, post-structural, and sociological discourses. It also provides readers with the sophisticated insights and tools urgently needed to challenge long-standing, entrenched, and insidious inequalities at play in and through higher education.
Written as a form of a pedagogical interaction, and addressing nuanced temporal and spatial inequalities, this key resource will be of value to policymakers, practitioners, educators, and scholars committed to progressive and groundbreaking approaches that can engage the ongoing challenges of transforming higher education towards more just realities.
