Reviews

Education and other researchers from around the world provide 14 chapters on how higher education can cultivate and promote a more inclusive and equitable environment, particularly in terms of gender diversity and non-conforming, non-heteronormative groups. They address higher education in Brazil and students with special educational needs; higher education access and inclusion policies for the Arab minority in Israel; the development of the community college system in Jamaica and aspects of access, equity, and quality; access and quality disparities in Nepal's higher education system in terms of gender, economic, and geographic dimensions; the internationalization of higher education in Portugal; and English education policy trends in Puerto Rico and the effects of the language of instruction in universities. They also examine access to and widening participation in South African higher education and the potential of open distance learning; financial barriers affecting students from poor families' accessibility to higher education in Tanzania; quality, equality, and student engagement in higher education in England; marginalized populations in American higher education, namely African Americans, students with disabilities, Hispanic students, LGBT students, undocumented students, and student veterans; the gender imbalance in seeking study abroad experiences outside the US; advancing and retaining women faculty in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields; and the underrepresentation of men of color in higher education in the US. -- Annotation (c)2018 * (protoview.com) *
