Strategies for Supporting Inclusion and Diversity in the AcademyHigher Education, Aspiration and Inequality\nAuthor(s): Gail Crimmins\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Springer International Publishing AG, Switzerland\nImprint: Palgrave Macmillan\nISBN-13: 9783031041730, 978-3031041730\nSynopsis\nThis book explores tried and tested strategies that support student and faculty engagement and inclusion in the academy. These strategies are anchored by a brief exploration of the history and effect/s of exclusion and deprivilege in higher education. However, while many publications exploring academic inequality focus on the causes and impacts of structural, psychological and cultural exclusion based on racism, sexism, classism and ableism, they rarely engage in interventions to expose and combat such de/privilege. Capturing examples of inclusive practices that are as diverse as student and faculty populations, these strategies can be easily translated and employed by organisations, collectives.
