Recenzje

"Postsecondary Leaders' Thoughts on Diversity and Inclusion: Now What? provides a timely discussion regarding how postsecondary leaders make meaning of diversity and inclusivity in educational settings. By tending to how leaders of postsecondary institutions in Alberta, who through policy, academic plans, mission and value statements, have committed to diversity and inclusion, Maroro Zinyemba offers key sensibilities for social justice praxis by revealing how these moments inform leadership practice in postsecondary contexts. This book ought to be requisite reading for those concerned with historical and contemporary questions regarding diversity and inclusion in the context of postsecondary education."
