This publication reports on a desk-based analysis of engagement with equality and diversity in learning and teaching at Scotland’s universities. It: provides an overview of the higher education policy ecosystem in Scotland in which the equality and diversity agenda operates; explores current trends in learning and teaching practices, processes and regimes in relation to equality and diversity; offers theoretical and practical explorations of opportunities and ways forward to improve student learning in this area that concentrate less on fixed curriculum-design methods and methodologies, and more on relational approaches to change.
