Full Description
Higher education institutions continue to address an increasingly
complex set of issues regarding equity, diversity and inclusion. Many institutions
face increasing pressure to find innovative solutions to eliminate access,
participation, and achievement barriers as well as practices that impede
retention and graduation rates in higher education. This book provides educators with a global understanding of the challenges associated with the growing diversity of
student identities in higher education and provides evidence-based strategies
for addressing the challenges associated with implementing equity and inclusion
at different higher education institutions around the world.
