This book explores how boys from low-socioeconomic status
backgrounds disengage from their education, and are resultantly
severely underrepresented in post-compulsory education. For those
who attend university, many will be first-in-their-family. As
first-in-family students, they may encounter significant barriers
which may limit their participation in university life and their
acquisition of social and cultural capital. Drawing on a
longitudinal study of young Australian men pursuing higher
education, the book provides the first detailed account of socially
mobile working-class masculinities. Investigating the experiences
of these young men, this book analyses their acclimatisation to new
learning environments as well as their changing subjectivities. The
monograph draws on various sociological theories to analyse
empirical data and make practical recommendations which will drive
innovation in widening participation initiatives internationally.
This book will be of interest to scholars interested in widening
participation, transitions, social mobility and Critical Studies of
Men and Masculinities.
