- This book interrogates how queer epistemologies can interact with
wider contemporary and emergent global issues in higher education
such as inclusion, women in leadership; internationalisation,
epistemic justice, decolonisation, meritocracy, and digitalisation.
- It examines and dismantles normative logics about the contexts,
hierarchies, and binaries of higher education - especially in
relation to current crisis discourse and concerns about the new
normal - It articulates a global analysis from different countries
and continents and explores the ways in which norms are reinforced
in responses, resistance, and implementation of inclusion
discourses in higher education.

How have the school effectiveness and school improvement movements
arrived where they are today? Over the past three decades there has
been a great deal of development, from the 1960s when debates arose
regarding equality of opportunity, to the 1980s when market
concepts came into play. This book contrasts current thinking on
educational standards with prevailing thought from prior decades,
and tackles difficult questions of quality and educational
outcomes. Anyone wishing to improve their understanding of school
effectiveness will find this book interesting and highly
informative.

This text presents evidence of the work and action of feminists in
academia and shows that there is still much to be done before
academia is a safe and welcoming environment for women. Women
integrate their experience with theory to document and challenge
the obstacles to equality and difference.

This text brings together leading feminists who explore questions
of feminist interventions in organisations of knowledge production,
covering both the structure and culture of academic institutions
and the social divisions between women. Feminism is located as a
force for change, empowering women to gain a political
understanding and providing a methodology for new approaches to
teaching, learning, research and writing in the academy.
Contributions demonstrate how an analysis of the micropolitics of
the academy in terms of power, policies, discourses, pedagogy and
interpersonal relationships provides a framework for de-
privatising women's experience and influencing change. Using
theoretical constructs and their own biographies and experience,
the contributors present predicaments, inequalities and strategies.
Power and influence are considered in conjunction with gender,
'race', social class and sexuality.

Today, between 10 and 12 million Roma live in Europe, comprising
the continent's largest ethnic minority. However, only 1%
participate in higher education. Although the Roma are widely
dispersed across Europe, and beyond, they face similar social,
political, and economic challenges throughout the continent. A
major site of struggle has been access, attendance and achievement
in the education sector for Gypsies, Roma and Travellers (GRT).
This groundbreaking text explores the Roma in higher education, a
topic of great importance since higher education is considered to
be a significant pathway out of poverty and to social mobility. Why
are participation rates so low? What are the barriers and what are
the enablers? This edited collection brings together authors from
diverse national and organisational locations including academics,
activists and policymakers from Canada, Chile, Finland, Greece,
Hungary, Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Serbia, the UK, and the USA.
They share and critically analyse contemporary knowledge on
research, policies, practices and interventions to promote Roma
participation in higher education in a range of European locations.
They cover key topics including the representation of Roma
communities as living on the margins, but also racism,
anti-Gypsyism, Romaphobia, hate crimes and discriminatory
practices. The book offers insights into how to fight
discrimination and re-distribute higher educational opportunities
without objectifying the Roma or representing these rich and
diverse communities merely as powerless victims.
