“This new book fills a lacuna in the literature on teaching and learning in higher education. It offers insights into how we can leverage Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) as a lens to deepen our understanding of the whole enterprise of Higher Education. It is a timely publication that is poised to raise our awareness of the importance of PLEs that utilize Culturally Responsive Teaching approaches across various domains in higher education. As a pioneering piece of work that integrates Culturally Responsive Pedagogical principles in PLEs, the book is a significant contribution to the field of Personal Learning Environments and higher education. I applaud the editors for advancing the field through their own theorization of CRT-PLEs, along with the introduction of four assessment scales for PLEs, covering perspectives from teachers and teaching, learners and learning, academic administration, and ICT.” —Lawrence Jun Zhang, Professor of Applied Linguistics & TESOL in the School of Curriculum and Pedagogy and Associate Dean for the Faculty of Education and Social Work at the University of Auckland, New Zealand

Now, more than ever, ensuring equitable access to resources for individual learners, affirming their diverse identities, and creating engaged social spaces are crucial for positive outcomes of learning. By integrating learner-centeredness and culturally responsive teaching, this volume provides teachers and administrators with fresh and valuable perspectives on cultivating justice-affirming learning environments."" —Ryuko Kubota, Professor in the Department of Language and Literacy Education at the University of British Columbia, Canada"
