Developing and Supporting Multiculturalism and Leadership Development cover

Humanizing education, which successfully instils values that support inclusivity and equality, should be built around cultural context and experiences derived from the work of researchers and academics. This book reviews work conducted by academics globally to uncover the strategies and tools designed to facilitate better learning and integration of inclusivity.   The authors make the engaging argument that social justice education and inclusion should be an inherent part of the curriculum. Case studies from Africa to the USA and UK are showcased to demonstrate effective examples, from which readers benefit from a real-life model of a classroom environment supporting multi-culturalism. Ultimately, the book illustrates the importance of appropriate curriculum development involving all stakeholders and the integration of multicultural educational topics.

‘Higher education leadership is in need of deep critical engagement with issues of multiculturalism and inclusivity, productive policy templates for helping institutions move forward, and, local examples of success. This timely volume provides such resources.’ -- Nicholas J. Shudak, PhD, Dean, School of Education and Counseling, Wayne State College, Nebraska, USA
‘This book is a significant collection which brings together valuable perspectives from leading international scholars to discuss how Higher Education Institutions are driving the development of multiculturalism and leadership. I most highly recommend to read.’ -- Fareeda Khodabocus, PhD, Director Quality Assurance, University of Mauritius, Mauritius
