This edited collection of essays examines the university's historical legacies, power dynamics, institutional norms and practices of normalisation, how these cultures reproduce inequality and exclusion, even amidst transformation agendas, and how academics, students, managers and administrators navigate, contest, and reimagine these spaces in pursuit of justice, equity, and deeper transformation.
