‘The edited volume nevertheless provides a deeper understanding of quite a few, otherwise relatively ignored, dimensions of inequalities in higher education. By doing so, the book widens the scope of studying inequalities in higher education and stresses the need to go beyond analyzing merely inequalities in enrolments. The book is a valuable resource for higher education researchers, and it will be of interest to scholars of the capability approach as well as educators, practitioners and policymakers in the broader field of development studies.’
