Diversity and Inclusion in Higher Education and Societal Contexts

Groundbreaking in its international, interdisciplinary, and multi-professional approach to diversity and inclusion in higher education, this volume puts theory in conversation with practice, articulates problems, and suggests deep-structured strategies from multiple perspectives including performed art, education, dis/ability studies, institutional as well as government policy, health humanities, history, jurisprudence, psychology, race and ethnicity studies, and semiotic theory. The authorsoriginating from Austria, Germany, Luxembourg, Trinidad, Turkey, and the US invite readers to join the conversation and sustain the work.

Provides multiple perspectives and respond to challenges accompanying diversity and inclusion practices today

Presents historical accounts that isolate four different, powerful forces that make inclusion a difficult balancing act in diverse cultures: economics, religion, ethnic rivalries, and patriotism

Offers comparative approaches to establish equal rights, create reliable data-driven overviews, and establish universal accessibility
