This book offers a transnational exploration of the role gender and race intersectionality plays in decolonization efforts within universities. Engaging with local contexts from across the globe, each chapter examines decolonization, racialization, and gender(ization) in relation to higher education, highlighting the complexities, contradictions, and contestations of these processes. Through interdisciplinary perspectives, the collection frames decolonization as a global project, emphasizing its ongoing intersections with race, gender, and coloniality. The book brings together early career and established scholars from diverse regions, including Latin America, Africa, Europe, and North America, alongside activist knowledge production. It explores how decolonization must account for racialized gender, addressing knowledge, policy, methodology, and practice interventions. The contributors challenge fixed notions of what decolonization and racialized gender mean, arguing that these concepts continue to evolve in both theory and practice. This book will be of interest to scholars and activists working in the fields of decolonization, gender studies, race theory, higher education, and social justice, as well as anyone interested in how race and gender intersect in global movements for institutional change.
