Addressing educational inequalities in southern contexts

This book is a labour of love dedicated to the late Professor Christopher Colclough, who inspired research on educational inequalities and evaluation of access to education in different southern contexts. It is an insightful book for students, academics and researchers who are interested in educational inequality, reform and development. The different chapters use different disciplinary lenses such as economics, sociology, gender studies, political science, education studies, disability studies, and human rights to understand educational inequalities in the global south. As a person interested in gendered inequalities, families and access to education, I was particularly drawn towards the chapters which focus on gender and identify the family as the key gendered site influencing unequal access to education.
