Higher education globally faces various challenges, ranging from issues of access and equity to the need for innovative pedagogical approaches appropriate to rapidly changing global contexts. The June 2024 issue of Critical Studies in Teaching and Learning (CriSTaL) brings together six papers that explore innovative approaches to some of these concerns. Focusing on social justice, decolonisation, and transformation, the articles in this issue span various topics, including doctoral education, access routes, new academics, and novel pedagogical methods. Together, they offer valuable insights into how we can reimagine higher education to serve diverse student populations better and address inequities. Three book reviews complete this issue.
