Diversiteit in de verpleegkunde (Basiswerken Verpleging en Verzorging)
by A. Kuckert and P. EsterhuizenVerpleegkundigen staan dicht bij mensen. Inlevingsvermogen en mensenkennis zijn onmisbaar voor goede observaties, klinisch redeneren of voor het kunnen geven van steun. Hoe herken je als verpleegkundige diversiteit en hoe geef je dat een goede plek in je handelen? Dit boek maakt de complexiteit van het onderwerp ‘diversiteit’ zichtbaar en biedt tegelijkertijd handvatten. Het boek laat zien hoe belangrijk de dialoog met patiënten is en hoe een verpleegkundige kennis over groepskenmerken kan combineren met het oog hebben voor unieke eigenschappen. Op het eerste oog homogene groepen patiënten kunnen veel diversiteit bevatten. De auteurs benaderen het onderwerp ‘diversiteit’ vanuit verschillende perspectieven. De complexiteit van het onderwerp wordt hierdoor goed zichtbaar. Dat diversiteit centraal staat in dit boek is niet alleen te zien aan de titel, maar ook aan de diversiteit in de opbouw van hoofdstukken. Elk hoofdstuk kan op zichzelf gelezen worden. Drie hoofdstukken zijn in de Engelse taal geschreven. Niet alleen de opbouw en de taal van de hoofdstukken is divers, maar ook de auteurs zelf verschillen in leeftijd, geslacht, gezinssituatie, opleiding (verpleegkunde, culturele antropologie, sociologie, etc.) en woonplaats (Nederland, Duitsland, Groot-Brittannië, Amerika).

Diversities in Education: Effective ways to reach all learners
by David MitchellDiversities in Education is a challenging text that will help educators, teacher educators and trainee teachers to be more effective in teaching a range of diverse learners. It covers five major categories of difference: sex and gender; social class and socio-economic status; race, ethnicity and culture; beliefs and religion; and different abilities and asks the urgent questions all policy-makers, educators and students should consider: Why should we value diversity and human rights? How can inclusive education accommodate diversity? How do society’s aspirations for cohesion and harmony impact on people who are different? What meanings are given to differences, culturally and historically? Should educators seek to accentuate, eliminate, reduce or ignore differences? By drawing attention to the latest research into the most effective educational policies and practices, this insightful book suggests strategies for meeting the challenges being posed in an era of superdiversity. It’s a crucial read for any training or practising educator who wants to address the issue of diversity, learn effective ways to reach all learners and create more inclusive and harmonious societies.

Diversity an der Universität: Diskriminierungskritische und intersektionale Perspektiven auf Chancengleichheit an der Hochschule (Bildungsforschung #4)
by Lucyna DarowskaDas »Diversity«-Konzept spiegelt unsere pluralistische und heterogene Gesellschaft wider und hat in vielen Bereichen bereits zu wünschenswerten Strukturänderungen geführt.

Das Buch bietet zudem einer breiten Leser*innenschaft differenzierte Einblicke in ein spannendes gesellschaftliches Thema.
Diversity and Decolonization in French Studies: New Approaches to Teaching
by Siham Bouamer Loïc BourdeauThis edited volume presents new and original approaches to teaching the French foreign-language curriculum, reconceptualizing the French classroom through a more inclusive lens. The volume engages with a broad range of scholars to facilitate an understanding of the process of French (de)colonization as well as its reverberations into the postcolonial era, and a deeper engagement with the global interconnectedness of these processes. Chapters in Part I revist the concept of the "francophonie," decenter the field from “metropolitan” or “hexagonal” and white France and underline how current teaching materials reproduce epistemic and colonial violence. Part II adopts an intersectional approach to address topics of gender inclusivity, trans-affirming teaching, queer materials, and ableism. Finally, Part III presents new ways to transform the discipline by affirming our commitment to social justice and making sure that our classrooms are representative of our students’ enriching diversity.
Diversity and Decolonization in German Studies
by Regine Criser Ervin MalakajThis book presents an approach to transform German Studies by augmenting its core values with a social justice mission rooted in Cultural Studies. German Studies is approaching a pivotal moment. On the one hand, the discipline is shrinking as programs face budget cuts. This enrollment decline is immediately tied to the effects following a debilitating scrutiny the discipline has received as a result of its perceived worth in light of local, regional, and national pressures to articulate the value of the humanities in the language of student professionalization. On the other hand, German Studies struggles to articulate how the study of cultural, social, and political developments in the German-speaking world can serve increasingly heterogeneous student learners. This book addresses this tension through questions of access to German Studies as they relate to student outreach and program advocacy alongside pedagogical models.
Diversity and Distrust: Civic Education In A Multicultural Democracy
by Stephen MACEDOExtending the ideas of John Rawls, Macedo defends a “civic liberalism” in culturally diverse democracies that supports the legitimacy of reasonable efforts to inculcate shared political virtues while leaving many larger questions of meaning and value to private communities.
Diversity and Excellence in Higher Education: Can the Challenges be Reconciled?
by Rosalind M. O. Pritchard Matthias Klumpp Ulrich Teichler"Diversity and excellence in Higher Education seem to be conflicting concepts. Nevertheless, they are dynamic and closely intertwined -- indeed they may even require each other. The book brings together insights from ten different countries to analyse these multi-facetted phenomena and discuss how they may be reconciled within higher education. To set the overall context, it critically addresses markets and managerialism, whilst foregrounding the dangers of certain behavior that European countries are currently, though often unwisely, copying from the U.S. In a mass Higher Education system, the social basis of the student body diversifies – a fact that creates new challenges for planners and managers. The authors’ study of diversity concentrates particularly upon issues of equity and justice for students, addressing their life cycle transitions from school to higher education, degree completion, postgraduate education and employability. It also considers challenges posed by diversification at the institutional level, encompassing changes in management, leadership, governance and performance assessment. It addresses attempts to achieve excellence by selectivity, thereby contributing to the stratification of university systems; and it explores attempts to achieve excellence by merging smaller institutions to form larger entities. The book’s overall conclusion is that diversity and excellence are not necessarily enemies but relatives who cannot escape the bond between them. "

Diversity and Inclusion in Higher Education: Emerging perspectives on institutional transformation (International Studies in Higher Education)
by Daryl G. SmithIn addition to many other issues that touch higher education around the world, diversity and equity in higher education is fast becoming a major opportunity and challenge to institutions, countries and regions.

Its purpose is to provide a comparative perspective with the hope that we will be able to see patterns across these contexts from which we might learn. Amongst other subjects it will address: The historic and contemporary context for diversity Established and emerging salient identities How diversity is framed at a national and institutional level The prevailing strategies and policies for engaging diversity, again at the national and institutional level The role of special purpose institutions This critical book is essential for higher education scholars and practitioners with backgrounds in higher education.
