Amongst other subjects it will address: The historic and contemporary context for diversityEstablished and emerging salient identitiesHow diversity is framed at a national and institutional levelThe prevailing strategies and policies for engaging diversity, again at the national and institutional levelThe role of special purpose institutions This critical book is essential for higher education scholars and practitioners with backgrounds in higher education.
