A new co-edited volume entitled Starting with Gender in International Higher Education Research has recently been published by Routledge in the 'Critical Studies in Gender and Sexuality in Education' series. The book, which is co-edited by Dr Emily Henderson (CES, Warwick) and Dr Z Nicolazzo (Arizona State University), provides a point of reference for students, researchers and consultants who are working on higher education issues and are considering working with gender - or expanding their existing repertoire of gender concepts. Each chapter 'starts with' a concept that is related to gender (eg. women, men, LGBT, Trans), and includes discussions of contestations around the concept and applications of that concept to higher education research.
