This book focuses on the voices and experiences of non-traditional
students in European higher education. It examines the impact that
access to higher education is having on these students' lives and
discusses what this tells us about European education and society.
In particular, it explores the multi-dimensional nature of
inequality in varied national contexts focusing on the issues of
class, gender, ethnicity, age and disability. The book contributes
to the on-going debate about the changing nature of European higher
education and argues that research based on the experiences of
non-traditional students can be used to improve policy and practice
in tertiary education. Drawing on biographical narrative interviews
with 'non-traditional' students, the book covers topics including:
* the contemporary nature of inequality and how the various forms
of inequality intersect and overlap in higher education and society
* the formation and transformation of learner identities * the
structural barriers faced by non-traditional students * the sources
of student resilience and agency * a comparison of patterns of
inequality, access and retention in various European countries *
the implications of these findings for practice and policies.
Student Voices on Inequalities in Higher Education will appeal to
academics, researchers, policy-makers and practitioners working in
higher education institutions as well as people working in the
field of widening participation, adult education, access and
centres for teaching and learning. It will also be of interest to
postgraduate students in higher education.
