Produktbeschreibung

Diversity and equity in higher education is fast becoming a major opportunity and challenge to institutions, countries and regions. This book will provide an opportunity to look at efforts at institutional change with respect to diversity in several countries where issues of diversity are moving beyond simply access for diverse populations to efforts at institutional transformation. Its purpose is to provide a comparative perspective with the hope that we will be able to see patterns across these contexts from which we might learn. This critical book is an essential for higher education scholars and practitioners with background in higher education.
