This edited collection emerged from an international conference Zaira Solomons organised in 2022 during her research sabbatical at the University of Johannesburg, and includes perspectives on how decoloniality, gender equity and diversity inform scholarship in the Global South.

Contributors: Zaira Solomons, Tosha Nembhard, Mayookh Barua, Faith Zengeni, Tasara Makombe and Patrick Bond.

“In addition to being a political project that stresses the prospect of a just future, this book encourages us to pursue the possibilities of gender and epistemological justice. The contributions emphasise the necessity of persistently challenging colonial and patriarchal systems, drawing upon a thorough decolonial feminist overview. The book emphasises the value of elevating marginalised voices, perspectives, and knowledge as well as the skewed and invisible histories and contributions of women and all other disenfranchised people both in Africa and across the world.” Puleng Segalo
Professor of Social Psychology and Chief Albert Luthuli Research Chair, University of South Africa

“This book is a considered contribution to ongoing discussions and debates about inclusion and equity. A timely addition to the literature with important insights into under-researched challenges.” Billy Wong, Professor of Education and Director of Research and Evaluation (Access & Participation), University of Reading, UK

Decolonial scholar Zaira Solomons is a senior Research Associate with the Department of Sociology at the University of Johannesburg. She holds a PhD in gender and education from Coventry University, UK, and received the Leverhulme Study Abroad Studentship.
