Book description

Kalwant Bhopal and Patrick Danaher examine 'race', identity and gender within education and explore the difficulties of relating these concepts to the experience of students in higher education. In drawing together the experience of local and international students in the UK and in Australia, they examine the ways identities are understood and conceptualized within higher education in local contexts and on a global level. They consider the complexity of 'race', gender and identity in relation to education within the context that education continues to be dominated by predominantly white, middle class values and perspectives.

Identity and Pedagogy in Higher Education examines the extent to which education as a vehicle for change in the light of the controversial debates surrounding race and gender inequalities. Kalwant Bhopal and Patrick Danaher provide an illuminating and engaging discussion of the relationships between identities and pedagogies in higher education. This timely book is useful for practitioners who wish to address matters of difference and diversity in thoughtful and creative ways. Kalwant Bhopal is Reader in Education at the University of Southampton, UK.

Patrick Alan Danaher is Professor in Educational Research, Associate Dean (Research) and Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Education at the University of Southern Queensland, Australia.
