Recenzje

"This book is a good read. It inspires us to see the complexities and challenges of addressing DCP in the social sciences and humanities. I would highly recommend it to audiences that include faculty and graduate students in the fields of higher education, scholarship of teaching and learning (SOTL), and decolonial studies." - Riyad A. Shahjahan, Educational Review
