Through rigorous scientific research, the project intends to develop a ‘Close-the-Gap toolkit’ to significantly reduce this ethnic gap and harness the potential of the diverse youth in Flanders (Belgium) The research and tools will be developed in collaboration with various societal partners, particularly with (ethnic minority) student organizations, who are co-initiators of this project. We are seeking PhD candidates who are passionate about researching and addressing ethnic/racial inequality in higher education and to develop tools that promote equity.The doctoral candidate will contribute to the development of the second work package, which examines the role of HEI’s Diversity, Equality and Inclusion (DEI) Policies in fostering an inclusive climate and reducing the ethnic gap in higher. This WP also aims to unravel the contextual factors for the successful implementation of evidence-based good-practice examples. This will be achieved by describing and explaining how different types of policies and initiatives contribute to these aims. The research will be realized by using several complementary methods: a qualitative content analysis of policy documents, interviews with policymakers, a multi-level regression analysis correlating the policy analysis with the student survey results, and video interviews with initiators and implementors of good practice examples.Further details about the overall project and other work packages can be foundWhat we offer?
