Emerging Female Voices in Social Science Research

Higher education is a critical juncture where traditional models are being challenged by the complexities of the 21st century, so it is a vital catalyst for empowering women and promoting UN Millennial parity goals and Beijing objectives. Yet, despite progress, women in academia continue to face entrenched barriers, biases, and power imbalances. Emerging Female Voices in Social Science Research addresses this pressing issue, exploring innovative approaches to transform the experiences and outcomes of women in higher education. This inaugural publication presents a diverse collection of fourteen articles that explore a range of topics primarily focusing on women's experiences and perspectives in Higher Education, particularly within the Social Sciences. It seeks to amplify the voices and research of female academics in the Faculty of Letters, showcase the diversity of scholarly expertise and interests among female lecturers, contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the humanities and social sciences and inspires future generations of women scholars and researchers. Worthy of note is the fact that these topics align with contemporary issues and challenges, integrates multiple subjects and perspectives, can prepare students for emerging trends and technologies and fosters empathy, understanding, and social responsibility.
