Publisher's Synopsis
Equality, diversity, equity, and inclusion are among the 'hot topics' of current management discourse and need to be handled and re-situated within the sphere of education in a careful fashion, as is the case with other disciplines and types of study. To that end, these topics should be explored and understood to the fullest extent by the relevant stakeholders in higher education: educators, practitioners, policy makers and education researchers. In particular at the tertiary level, a level that is constantly evolving due to globalization and internationalization, along with numerous other factors, these concepts require reviewing with novel understandings and approaches.In this direction, there remains space for new studies, commentaries, and findings, especially those that address the situations in/for dissimilar bodies e.g, higher education institutions in developing countries. By focusing on equality, diversity, equity, and inclusion through the lens of higher education in developing countries this book can pave the way in targeting a number of 'notyet-solved' controversial issues such as gender issues, difficulty in accessing higher education, and the problems that international students experience, alongside the evolving topics such as the status of learners with special needs and/or the experiences of those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
