Special Issue \u2013 Fostering Inclusive Higher Education<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

We are pleased to announce a call for papers for our upcoming thematic issue on “Fostering Inclusive Higher Education.”<\/strong> In recent years, social inclusion has gained significant prominence on the European agenda, as evidenced by the adoption of six equality strategies (Gender Equality Strategy 2020-2025<\/em>, EU Anti-racism Action Plan 2020-2025<\/em>, EU Roma strategic framework for equality, inclusion and participation<\/em>, LGBTIQ equality strategy 2020-2025<\/em>, Strategy for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities 2021-2030<\/em>, Gender Action Plan III \u2013 a priority for EU external action<\/em>) within the European Union. Institutions of higher education, supported by mechanisms such as HRS4R<\/a> and GEP<\/a>, are expected to take the lead in developing best practices, in order to create equitable environments for learning, teaching and research. However, as social scientists pioneering critical inclusion studies<\/em> have argued (Adamson et al., 2016; Dobusch, 2014, and 2017; Ferdman, 2017; Noon, 2018), the concept of inclusion presents inherent complexities, including challenges related to tokenism, practical implementation, and the imperative for cultural relevance and contextualization (Adamson et al. 2021).<\/p>\n

In this special issue, we invite scholarly contributions that critically examine theory, policy development, and practical implementation of social inclusion initiatives in higher education settings. We particularly welcome submissions that bridge the gap between research and practice, exploring the intersectionality of gender with other power structures, including race, class, ethnicity, age, able-bodiedness, educational background, occupational status, and non-normative sexualities. Prospective authors, whether researchers, policy makers, or practitioners, are encouraged, when possible, to provide recommendations and actionable steps toward culturally relevant practices of social inclusion.<\/p>\n

The envisioned articles will delve into various topics, including but not limited to:<\/p>\n
