Summary
The book "Inclusive University. New Perspectives for Practice and Research" was published as the fourth volume of the book series "Diversity and University" and is a collection of 14 independently developed contributions. The focus lays on improvements for students with impairments. The first and most extensive part of the collection is dedicated to strategies and tools for the development of an inclusive university. The contributions present convincing approaches and examples for inclusive higher education policy and internal university steering mechanisms. The second contribution deals with (empirical) research about students with disabilities. This part contains articles about different national and international studies and theoretical research approaches, but doesn‘t give a systematic overview. The third part of the anthology deals with the transition of students with disabilities from the university into an occupation.
The anthology fully meets its claim to present new perspectives for practice and research in relation to the development of an inclusive university. It is a very successful mix of practical and research-based contributions, which often connect these two perspectives. The reading can be recommended to all those who deal with the issues of higher education development and the issues of an inclusive education system. The contributions show that the development of an inclusive university is at its very beginning.
