Gender Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion in Higher Education in ASEAN

The SHARE EDI research project carried out by the Asia Research Centre, Universitas Indonesia (ARC UI) examines several key issues and the enabling environment for gender equality, diversity and inclusion (GEDI) in ASEAN’s higher education (HE).

More specifically, this study aims to explore, describe, and analyse initiatives that have widened the social space for GEDI in HE with an overarching question: How do ASEAN university managers and scholars practice and negotiate the values of GEDI in their organisational and academic work?

By examining the development actors and institutions in each ASEAN member country’s HE, this research hopes to provide a better understanding of the complex and multi-layered GEDI in ASEAN’s HE sector for a more inclusive HE system. The approach and analysis are informed by theories of social justice and equity that acknowledge underlying historical structures of patriarchy, state ideology, that is combined with religious conservatism in Southeast Asia.

This report uses qualitative approaches and focuses on GEDI initiatives in ASEAN’s HE by drawing on two categories of data: primary (i.e. semi-structured interviews of key actors and stakeholders) and secondary data (i.e. desk review).
