Sommario/riassunto

This is an important and timely intervention by leading experts. The combination of data alongside personal accounts provides a deeper granular picture of the impact of campus culture on the achievements, outcomes, and lived experience of Muslims in higher education. The findings should be taken seriously by both national policy makers and sector decision makers. -The Rt Hon Baroness Sayeeda Warsi This edited collection documents the experiences of Muslim students and staff in UK higher education (HE), including their expertise and experiences in teaching, scholarship, policy and academic transitions as professionals, academics and students. At a time when UK HE at large is attempting to redress myriad racial and social injustices, this collection highlights how this meaningfully applies to Muslim students and staff who find themselves at the nexus of multiple, intersectional oppressions. The chapters presented, all written by Muslim authors, describe the inequalities faced by students and staff at all levels of their educational and professional journeys, exposing the fluid manifestations of Islamophobia within HE structures and institutions. Critically, the book advocates for hope by offering tools that universities and sector bodies can utilise to tackle challenging and nuanced cycles of inequity. This timely volume is essential reading for students, academics, professional service staff, and policymakers leading on diversity, equity and inclusion research, activity and interventions, or those within the sector who wish for it to become more equitable. Arif Mahmud is Senior Lecturer in Education and a member of the Centre for Learning, Teaching and Human Development at the University of Roehampton, UK. <Maisha Islam is a Research Culture Lead (Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion) at the University of Southampton, UK, and is a final year doctoral student. She is also the Co-Chair of a Steering Group for a Research England and Office for



Students funding programme seeking to improve access and participation of racially minoritised students within postgraduate research. .
