Providing new conceptualizations alongside qualitative and quantitative research, the book explores the realities faced by universities in developing economies, considering case studies from Argentina, Brazil, Ethiopia, India, Peru, Vietnam, South Africa and Türkiye. Chapters examine key topics such as the relationship between higher education in the Global South and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, insecurity in public transport, wellbeing inequality and the capability approach, as well as the roles of gender and ethnicity in crystallizing inequalities. Reconceptualizing Inequalities in Higher Education in the Global South investigates how public policies which aim to overcome inequalities sometimes paradoxically consolidate them.
This book is an essential resource for academics and researchers in the sociology of education, global education policy and development studies, particularly those investigating educational inequalities in low-income countries. It is also crucial for practitioners and policymakers in international education and development.
