Description: Higher education institutions continue to address an increasingly complex set of issues regarding equity, diversity and inclusion. Many institutions face increasing pressure to find innovative solutions to eliminate access, participation, and achievement barriers as well as practices that impede retention and graduation rates in higher education. This book provides educators with a global understanding of the challenges associated with the growing diversity of student identities in higher education and provides evidence-based strategies for addressing the challenges associated with implementing equity and inclusion at different higher education institutions around the world.
Review Quotes: Education, psychology, disability studies, and medicine are among the perspectives contributors bring to their studies of key factors in identity development among higher education students, and how student experiences in formal, nonformal, and informal learning activities help shape their identities. Their topics include accessibility and acceptance for university students with diverse abilities, US military veterans: a look at their college experience and equitable and inclusionary practices, the influence of socioeconomic status on perceptions of persistence among African American students at major US universities, and failure leading to success when remediation builds resiliency: how struggling international medical students gain entry into US graduate medical education programs.--Annotation (c)2019 "(protoview.com)"
