For staff and students across higher education, intersecting identities, legacies, cultures and challenges shape opportunities to participate, stay and succeed. Yet, institutions continue to treat inequalities in isolation, exacerbating the widening gaps through which marginalised communities continue to fall.
Bringing together leading international scholars and practitioners, this pioneering volume situates the role of intersectionality in policy and practice through clear, actionable guidance to embed it across higher education. Through critical reflection and concrete steps for implementation, it equips readers to move beyond theory into meaningful institutional change.
Essential reading for leaders in higher education navigating contemporary issues and questions of inclusion, equity and transformative action, this book offers the vision and tools to shape a more socially just and inclusive future for staff and students alike.
“This book is an important call to action. It provides a comprehensive analysis of how intersecting identities experience higher education and provides the tools to effectively address injustice. A must-read for anyone who cares about inclusion in education.” Marcia A. Wilson, Birmingham City University
“Important and timely, this book offers a robust and practical framework for understanding and addressing inequality. Rich in insight and grounded in action, it will be a valuable resource for those intent on creating more inclusive institutions. While successfully exploring many dimensions of inclusion and belonging, it also points towards important future directions for scholarship and action in the field of disability inclusion and anti-ableism.” Jackie Carter, University of Manchester (emerita)
