Praxis

In this issue of Access: Critical explorations of equity in higher education, we introduce work that explores questions of access and equity through the use of theory and the practice of theorising. We consider how these are deployed as forms of contestation of hegemonic epistemologies, theories, pedagogies and subjectivities. The papers in the issue aim at questioning key aspects of equity policy, research and practice that go by unnoticed far too often. These papers extend the debates and perspectives this journal seeks to facilitate given that a guiding commitment for the publication is to draw on and develop critical praxis. Such development requires to bring theory and practice together in approaches that seek to challenge social inequalities within different contexts of higher education (Bunn et al. 2021).
