Drawing on previous literature emphasising the relationship between types of higher education institutions and institutional logics, this study investigates the impact of the higher education system expansion on the functioning of institutions in Brazil. Using latent profile analysis and administrative data from all Brazilian higher education…

Although the diversity of higher education (HE) systems is a widely debated topic in literature, this has been rarely examined considering multiple levels of analysis. This article adopts both a multilevel and longitudinal perspective to study which dimensions of horizontal diversity diversified the English HE system most. Diversity, and how this…

Despite recent developments in diversity climate research, few studies have explicitly examined perceived multicultural norms within educational contexts. This paper describes the construction and validation of the Normative Multiculturalism Scale for Educational Institutions (NMS-EI). Grounded in social, political, and acculturation psychology,…

In an increasing context of internationalisation, the European Commission announced in 2019 the creation of the first seventeen 'European Universities' (EUnis), a Pan-European consortium of higher education institutions designed to promote European values, cooperation and identity.

This research study explored the importance of examining the lived experiences of Black male teachers (BMTs) in Southern California due to the region's diverse racial and ethnic demographics. It is vital to…

The study of diversity climates is as complicated as the study of diversity itself. Despite the call for more sophisticated and multi-dimensional approaches to the study of diversity climates, few empirical efforts have been designed to do so, as the literature remains replete with work bifurcating and labeling diversity climates as positive or…

Prior research has highlighted strong benefits from having a collaborative environment within schools. However, there has been limited research regarding factors that can promote a collaborative relationship between two key professionals within the school environment: school administrators and school psychologists. The first purpose of this study…

In this paper, we draw on accounts of trans and nonbinary youth we interviewed as part of a larger study on supporting gender diversity in schools. Our study is informed by an approach to epistemic witnessing which we conceive of as a praxis that is informed by a commitment to trans de-subjugation, testimonial justice and a transfeminist…

The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the recent body of research exploring strategic positioning, and the processes and factors which influence the development and content of university strategies and plans, with lessons then applied to open questions of institutional diversity and its determinants. Following a sector level analysis of…
