"Rapid globalisation and digitalisation have drawn greater attention from educators and researchers in the Global South to pursue equal international collaboration for sustainable development. However, Western scholars mainly developed the widely adopted theories and literature in the Western context. More comprehensive and contextual studies are needed to enhance the existing conceptual frameworks further and better serve Africa's higher education sectors. The book ""Co-teaching and co-research in contexts of inequality"" addresses the above knowledge gaps and contributes to the global literature from three main aspects. First, for decision-makers in the higher education sectors of the Global South, this book provides practical guidance through an institutional landscape of recent conceptual and empirical studies on the topic of co-teaching and co-research practices with in-depth reflections in the context of inequality in South Africa and beyond. Second, this book critically discusses the challenges and opportunities of using technology-enhanced online and onsite blended co-teaching, co-learning and co-researching with rich evidence, which would help to inspire more academics and students to be actively engaged in the innovations. Finally, this book highlights the value and potential of thoroughly connecting African higher education institutions with the rest of the world, which opens a new angle of viewing the inequality issues and opportunities for the global society. Prof. Dr. Na (Lina) Li Department of Educational Studies, Academy of Future Education (AoFE) Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, China"
