Beyond Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Education : Towards Belonging and Societal Transformations

This edited volume offers insights into Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB+) in intercultural education, presenting new studies, teaching practices, and theoretical perspectives. Through these critical examinations, the book challenges our understanding of intercultural education as it is experienced in schools, higher education, and informal educational contexts. Section one provides an introduction to the book, tracing the evolution of DEIB+ and application. Section two explores intersectional areas in intercultural and diversity-sensitive education. Section three examines emerging research orientations, methods, and methodologies from both the Global North and Global South. The final section showcases promising practices that reimagine critical cultural competence, pluralism, intercultural teaching, and transformative approaches. This volume features selected papers presented at the International Association for Intercultural Education (IAIE) Conference 2024, entitled Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging in Education to Transform Society held at the Chemnitz University of Technology, Germany, March 26-28, 2024.
