Breaking Structural Inequality and Enhancing Social Justice in Higher Education explores how innovative higher education organizations may advance social justice through inclusive practices. It examines the moral and social responsibility of higher education to address structural inequalities by implementing practical strategies that support historically marginalized groups, empowering them to participate in society.
