Adopting a UDL Attitude within Academia Summary

Adopting a UDL Attitude within Academia: Understanding and Practicing Inclusion Across Higher Education by Mary Quirke

* There is a limited literature on the evolving theories of Universal Design and Universal Design for Learning and its application to Higher Education.
* There is an increasing interest on inclusionary approaches - particularly as the Higher Education system is increasingly challenged to include more diverse learners and academic staff.
* This book will present a new way of thinking about Universal Design for Learning and should have added value for those seeking to adopt some of the approaches.

Adopting a UDL Attitude within Academia Reviews

This is a must read for anyone interested in equality, diversity and inclusion in education and wider society. This is a modern classic - pioneering and refreshing

Professor Michael Shevlin, Professor in Inclusive Education at School of Education, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland

This book shows how to move beyond our individual efforts to create systemic, at-scale methods for making inclusion everyone's business in higher education: in community colleges, trade schools, technical schools, further education, four-year colleges, and universities. I strongly recommend Adopting a UDL Attitude to campus and program leaders and practitioners everywhere.
Thomas J. Tobin, PhD, MSLS, PMP, MOT, CPACC, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA

This important volume raises important questions and highlights a gap in the current literature on Universal Design for Learning [...] There is no doubt that this volume, will be of benefit at many levels.

Fred Fovet, Assistant Professor at the Thompson Rivers University, Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada

In its support for inclusive practice for all it should be recommended reading for those involved in teaching and learning at all levels in higher education.

Professor Noirin Hayes, Visiting Professor at the School of Education, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland and Professor Emeritus, Technological University Dublin (TUD), Ireland

Whilst the title indicates it is a book for academia it's more so a book to inform practice for all educators in whatever guise level, or place of learning to reference when embedding UDL as core practice across the wider education sector. The authors challenge the reader to pursue a contemporary exploration, application, and adoption of UDL in HE but it becomes very clear that this is also the challenge for the whole of our education system, because inclusion is everyone business.

This book, promotes and encourages reflexive practice, not only of our practice as educators, researchers, strategists, policy implementers but also triggers reflection on our lived experience, our experience of equity, inclusion, diversity. This book says- Be Brave - Challenge- Bravely Challenge - rewire and reframe our thinking about our learning environments, challenge habits and beliefs, evolve teaching and learning practice.

Dr Fiona Maloney, Director, National Tertiary Office, Ireland
