Subject(s): Online resources: Summary: Zaira Solomons is a senior Research Associate at the University of Johannesburg. She holds a PhD from Coventry University and received the prestigious Leverhulme Study Abroad Studentship. She is a decolonial scholar with an emphasis on gender parity and STEM. This edited collection emerged as a result of an international conference she organised during her research sabbatical at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa. It weaves together voices from distinct South-North perspectives on matters relating to minorities and STEM, sexual diversity and inclusion, as well as the political economy and equity. “This book is a considered contribution to ongoing discussions and debates about inclusion and equity. A timely addition to the literature with important insights into under-researched challenges.”- Billy WongProfessor of Education and Director of Research and Evaluation (Access & Participation) at University of Reading, UK & Editor for British Educational Research Journal (BERJ) “In addition to being a political project that stresses the prospect of a just future, this book encourages us to pursue the possibilities of gender and epistemological justice. The contributions emphasise the necessity of persistently challenging colonial and patriarchal systems, drawing upon a thorough decolonial feminist overview. The book emphasises the value of elevating marginalised voices, perspectives, and knowledge as well as the skewed and invisible histories and contributions of women and all other disenfranchised people both in Africa and across the world.”- Puleng SegaloProfessor of Social Psychology & Chief Albert Luthuli Research Chair at University of South Africa “The authors tackled their respective topics from fresh and unique angles and should be congratulated for their contributions. This collection is aimed at providing valuable insights for anyone interested in ongoing work concerning decoloniality, gender equity and diversity.”- Leigh Ann van der MerweFounder of Social, Health & Empowerment Feminist Collective of Transgender Women of Africa & South African Commissioner for Gender EqualityPPN: PPN: 1983972754Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-94-OAB
