Written by academics from different disciplines and backgrounds, this book offers an international practical guide to doing diversity in the social sciences.
Despite progress, the Western higher education system is still largely dominated by scholars from the privileged classes of the Global North. This book presents examples of efforts to diversify points of view, include previously excluded people, and decolonize curricula.





What has worked? What hasn’t? What further visions do we need? How can we bring about a more democratic and just academic life for all?





Written by scholars from different disciplines, countries, and backgrounds, this book offers an internationally relevant, practical guide to ‘doing diversity’ in the social sciences and humanities and decolonising higher education as a whole.
