ABSTRACT

Revealing higher education inclusive practice in action, this key title showcases a range of international case studies from a number of universities in order to highlight approaches to developing a culture of access and inclusion. It provides detailed information on how to transform institutional commitment to access and diversity into systemic change and the creation of a university for all.

By deconstructing assumptions and practices and offering a range of inclusive techniques and case studies to challenge and enhance instruction, this book moves the conversation about inclusivity from a concept to a reality. It evokes and prompts solutions to everyday challenges experienced by those working in higher education and offers the reader a ringside seat to its application, implementation and unearthing inclusive practice gems which showcase inclusive practice at its best.

Providing a whole-institution perspective of student access and inclusion, citing case studies and sharing real world experience, this book will appeal to academic leaders, faculty and professionals in higher education, as well as policy makers. In particular, those charged with addressing issues of access, diversity and inclusion in higher education will find this a vital read.
