"Teachers can cultivate gender-sensitive graduates able to impact on the future communication environment to help make it inclusive, diverse and open. Scholars from 10 universities from across all world regions have collaborated on this project: Complutense University (Spain), Hawassa University (Ethiopia), Howard University (United States), Iberoamerican University of the Dominican Republic (UNIBE), National Autonomous University of Mexico (Mexico), Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso (Chile), RMIT University (Australia), SNDT Women’s University (India), Universidad Andina Simón Bolívar, (Ecuador), University of Padova (Italy). In preparing this curriculum, members of these Unitwin universities embarked on a year-long process of research, mapping and writing to ensure that cultural differences were taken into consideration in writing the chapters. This underpins the focus on core concepts such as gender mainstreaming, gender sensitivity, equality and equity, all which have been reflected in the book. It also ensures a wide range of information and up-to-date evidence, that can appropriately resonate in different ways in different countries." (Foreword)
