Higher education regionalization (HER), a trend of closer collaboration between higher education actors within their own world region, is gaining increasing momentum in global higher education. The most salient example is the Bologna Process in Europe, resulting in an array of research focusing on Europe. Yet, while HER initiatives are also happening worldwide in Asia, Latin America and Africa, understanding of these regions is limited.

When it comes to equity, diversity, inclusion, and Indigeneity (EDIl), we hear a lot of words, but we don't see so many numbers. Aspirations are expressed, but targets stay unstated and data collection efforts are few and far between.

The largest and arguably leading global scholarship on the development and functioning of private higher education (PHE) finds that most policy for PHE is privately made and that even public policy for PHE tends to follow "pluralist-market" (and even "laissez-faire" dynamics) more than statist dynamics.

Over several years, three seasoned higher education scholars collaborated on an edited volume, *The Social Production of Research: Perspectives on Funding and Gender* (Acker, Ylijoki, & McGinn, 2024), published by Routledge in the Society for Research into Higher Education (SRHE) series. This paper contributes to the underexplored topic of scholarly editing.

In 2022, only 27% of graduates from Canadian graduate engineering programs were women, not much more than the 22% they were in 2002. Universities, governments and the engineering profession have worked for many years to increase the number of women in engineering, including in graduate engineering schools, but these programs have had limited success.
