'Three- quarters of the books 175 pages were allocated to five seperate case studies undertaken across Europe, Africa, the Americas and New Zealand. The fact that there were five fresh authors was attractive... it would be exceedingly difficult not to be inspired by the plan and its rollout... Readers will enjoy the section on theoretical approaches where today's diversity is shown to be explicable in terms of conceptual frameworks and cyclical theories'- Dennis Bryant, Australian Universities Review, Vol. 56, No.2, 2014"Diversity and Inclusion in Higher Education is a well-timed book. Not only are institutions of higher education tasked with preparing students for a globalized and increasingly technically-driven future, many are still reeling from the recession of 2008... Set in three parts, Smith begins with a section on the significance of context and then directs readers to five fascinating case studies looking at the status of institutional transformation and diversity in South Africa, the UK, the United States, Brazil, and among indigenous institutions in the United States and New Zealand"— Katherine Daley-Bailey, Reflective Teaching
