International Perspectives on Higher Education Research is a series
which aims to feature something of the variety of research being
undertaken into higher education systems and issues outside of
North America. The theme of this volume covers what is and isn't
permitted, included or allowed within our higher education
institutions.
As with the first volume, this one deliberately sets out to convey
a diversity of ideas and approaches. Thus, it includes
contributions from researchers working in Australia, the
Netherlands and the United Kingdom, relating to higher education
experiences and systems in Australia, Europe and South Africa. They
offer examples of quantitative, survey based approaches and more
qualitative, interview based strategies for data collection and
analysis, with methodological strategies ranging from multinational
comparisons to analyses of newspaper reportage.
The consideration of what it is that is being accessed or excluded
from is also deliberately broad. Thus, the ten chapters in this
volume do not solely concern themselves with students, and the
differential access or exclusion they experience in relation to
their social class, wealth, ethnicity, sex, age, religion,
location, etc. They also examine access and exclusion as they
impact upon academics and their managers, are experienced in terms
of teaching and learning approaches, effect the content of the
curriculum, relate to disciplines and what counts as academic
knowledge, and are perceived externally in the media.
