This open access book explores cultural competence in the higher education sector from multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary perspectives. It addresses cultural competence in terms of leadership and the role of the higher education sector in cultural competence policy and practice.

This book will appeal to researchers, scholars, policy-makers, practitioners and general readers interested in cultural competence policy and practice.
