Abstract

This chapter explores the critical role of staff training and development in fostering inclusivity within transnational higher education (TNHE), focusing on the integration of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) principles. Through a qualitative case study of four individuals from TNHE institutions, the research reveals the impact of staff training on implementing inclusive practices, addressing barriers such as lack of awareness and systemic issues. It highlights the importance of cultural sensitivity, the challenge of resistance to change, and the influence of power dynamics on inclusivity. The chapter concludes that a multifaceted approach, considering personal, cultural, systemic, and career-related factors, is necessary to foster inclusivity in TNHE and calls for ongoing research and action to advance inclusive practices in higher education.
