The politicized September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States has been the most significant historical event of the 21st century, with major global consequences. The ongoing threats of terrorism the 9/11 incidents initiated have transformed public attitudes, socially and politically, and impacted the way people have related to one another both within the United States and globally. This paper critically examines the (i) enduring lessons learned 20 years after the tragic incidents of 9/11; (ii) global psychological response to 9/11 from a cultural-historical perspective; (iii) the broader social and socio-political impacts; interplay between identity politics, national security concerns and risks, prejudice, exclusion, and religious intolerance the events have triggered within the United States and globally; and how social media, fast infor...

The pandemic has exposed pre-existing fault lines rooted in systemic racism and discrimination; underlined the persistence and pervasiveness of associated barriers; and had a notable negative impact on vulnerable students’ academic success and general sense of belonging. Research so far has revealed the disproportionate negative effects of the pandemic on both post-secondary students and racialized groups. There is no doubt, then, that racialized students are paying a heavy price. Given that the reverberations of this ongoing pandemic will continue well into the future, further research is needed on the experiences of racialized post-secondary students to understand pandemic-related impacts and inequities in more depth.
The existing disconnect between diversity and educational excellence prevents post-secondary institutions from adequately supporting diverse and differentially prepared students to succeed. More than ever, attention must be paid to marginalized students’ intersecting identities, socio-economic status and access needs, academic engagement and success. Consequently, post-secondary institutions must adopt responsive strategies to meet the needs of racialized students.
The imminent question is, what can post-secondary institutions do to mitigate the harms caused by deficits in real inclusion for racialized, Indigenous and Black students? Such problem-solving must not just happen as a short-term COVID response; rather, this inflection point in history should be taken as an opportunity to make sustainable, systemic transformations.

Without comprehensive race-based data, equity policies within Canadian universities have limited impact in adequately addressing discrimination and racism. As Canadian universities do not collect race-based data, '63 out of the 76 universities across the country are unable to provide a breakdown of their student populations due to absence of data collection,' despite having diversity offices.

Economics believe that growing skills gap is becoming a challenge for the American employers. They suggest United States needs to undertake a “reskilling” of its labor to meet the demands of a highly digitized and interconnected world. This chapter explores immigration reform debates on high-skilled workers to the U.S.
