Abstract
The representation of the non-west in English literature of Higher Education has the potential to facilitate more spaces to question the ideas of orientalism, racism, and globalization. Non-western scholars of colors constantly question the validities and definitions made by the western white community of scholars. The number of analyses dealing with orientalist representations in the United States and around the globe is on the rise. Western authors and their viewpoints have historically dominated English literature. But there has been a growing movement to include more diverse voices and perspectives in the canon. This movement has the potential to challenge and disrupt the dominant narratives of Western cultural superiority and to create more opportunities for critical engagement with issues of race, culture, and power in the domain of Higher Education Studies. By implementing a few academic and critical measures, it is possible to achieve a curriculum in HED that better reflect the diverse realities of the world we live in, delighting in its rich heterogeneity while challenging harmful stereotypes and prejudices.
