Leading Change in Gender and Diversity in Higher Education from Margins to Mainstream

Beschreibung

This edited book provides international insights and recommendations around topics of gender and diversity in higher education linking to larger societal goals of improving equality.

Within each of the four sections - Student recruitment and retention, Student experience, Faculty and staff experiences and culture, and Higher education cultures of teaching and research - topics unpack and speak to gender and diversity, equity, inclusion and access, social justice, and leadership and sustainability in higher education institutions (HEIs). Incorporating innovative processes and methods, the researchers address how the experiences of groups who have been subordinated and marginalized can be heard, proposing a re-imagination of empowerment and leadership within higher education and best practices for the benefit of ongoing higher education development.

This book is ideal reading for higher education leaders, students on higher education courses, leadership courses, gender in education, as well as researchers, practitioners, for topics of gender and diversity, equity, inclusion and access, social justice, leadership and sustainability in HEIs.

Rezensionen

"This volume is an important read for all who care about improving gender equality and social justice in higher education. It sheds useful light on the gendered experiences of students, staff, and faculty with various intersecting aspects of identity in particular cultural contexts. Individually and collectively, the chapters amplify the voices of individuals who are too often marginalized or overlooked in higher education and offer useful insights for higher education leaders, policymakers, researchers, and students who seek to better appreciate diverse perspectives and create inclusive environments where all people can thrive."

"A necessary, timely, and indispensable book! The collection fills a crucial gap in research on gender and leadership in higher education by first imparting perceptive and original research across a diverse range of perspectives and disciplines, and then by applying this knowledge to lived contexts to show how gender equity may be achieved in academe. The book is essential reading for university educators and administrators committed to reimagining and leading change to achieve diversity, equity, inclusion and access, social justice, and sustainability in higher education institutions."

"This is a gem of a book - a huge diversity of scholars tackling the complex issues of inequity of higher education from a range of perspectives and approaches, with intersectionality and post/decolonisation of higher education cultures and practices at the forefront."



Barbara Read, Reader, Gender and Social Inequalities School of Education,University of Glasgow

"Leading Change in Gender and Diversity in Higher Education From Margins to Mainstream offers a much-needed contribution to the scholarship on gender equity in higher education. Its main strength is the diversity of perspectives and countries represented; from Australia to Cambodia and from Nigeria to India, the chapter authors each consider how gender is reproduced and sometimes resisted in different contexts. In doing so, the authors contribute to the book's overarching goal: to consider how social justice and gender equity might be furthered in creating space for marginalized groups' empowerment."
