Drawing together example studies from international contexts, this
edited collection provides a new and cross-disciplinary perspective
on the concept of the possible self, exploring its theoretical,
methodological and empirical uses with regards to Higher Education.
Building on research which examines the ways in which possible
selves are constructed through inequalities of class, race and
gender, the book interrogates the role of imagined futures in
student, professional and academic lives, augmenting the concept of
possible selves, with its origins in psychology, with sociological
approaches to educational inequalities and exclusionary practices.
Possible Selves and Higher Education considers both the theoretical
and methodological frameworks behind the concept of possible
selves; the first section includes chapters that consider different
theoretical insights, while the second section offers empirical
examples, exploring how the possible selves concept has been used
in many diverse higher education research contexts. With each
chapter considering a different aspect of the structural barriers
to or within education, the examples provided range from the
experiences of students and teachers in the language learning
classroom, to graduates entering employment for the first time, and
refugees seeking to rebuild lives through engagement with
education. Offering a broad and diverse examination of how concepts
of our future selves can affect and limit educational outcomes,
this book furthers the sociological dialogue concerning the
relationship between individual agency and structural constraints
in higher education research. It is an essential and influential
text for both students and academics, as well as anyone responsible
for student services such as outreach and widening participation.
