Gender and the Changing Face of Higher Education in Asia Pacific, Hardcover by Neubauer, Deane E. (EDT); Kaur, Surinderpal (EDT), ISBN 3030027945, ISBN-13 9783030027940, Brand New, Free P&P in the UK<p></p><p>This book establishes gender issues as a major focus within developments shaping higher education in the Asia Pacific region. The discussion is framed as a response to various dedicated efforts, such as that of the United Nations, to foreground gender as a site for political discourse throughout the region. Throughout the volume, authors confront issues that continue to gain prominence in higher education as a policy arena, including the degree to which higher education operates within a framework of gender equity and how higher education appointments—even promotions—are sensitive to gender. By touching specific instances throughout Korea, Japan, China, Australia, India, Malaysia, Thailand, and Taiwan, authors offer an unprecedented big-picture view of gender-relevant policy issues.</p><p></p>
