      abstract = {"This book brings together a comprehensive and diverse  range of perspectives and experiences of strategies and  approaches that will be of value to anyone who works in  delivery, leadership or support of diversity and inclusion  in higher education. Its authentic voice, combined with a  rich range of methodologies and personal insights helps the  authors to bring complex concepts to life in a manner which  is honest, thoughtful and challenging." Professor Sarah  Sharples, Pro-Vice Chancellor for Equality, Diversity and  Inclusion, University of Nottingham, UK "Crimmins excellent  collection is a treasure trove of irrefutable statistical  facts and figures that blows away the myth that diversity  and inclusion policies have closed the equalities gap in  higher education. Powerful fuel for policy makers and  social justice educators passionate about creating a truly  global academy where all can flourish regardless of race,  gender, class, sexuality, and (dis)ability." Professor  Heidi Safia Mirza, Goldsmiths College, University of  London, UK This book explores tried and tested strategies  that support student and faculty engagement and inclusion  in the academy. These strategies are anchored by a brief  exploration of the history and effect/s of exclusion and  deprivilege in higher education. However, while many  publications exploring academic inequality focus on the  causes and impacts of structural, psychological and  cultural exclusion based on racism, sexism, classism and  ableism, they rarely engage in interventions to expose and  combat such de/privilege. Capturing examples of inclusive  practices that are as diverse as student and faculty  populations, these strategies can be easily translated and  employed by organisations, collectives and individuals to  recognise and combat social and academic exclusion within  higher education environments. Gail Crimmins is Senior  Lecturer at the University of the Sunshine Coast,  Australia. Her research interests include gender inequity  and the student experience in the academy and uses of  feminist approaches to research. .},
