Young people with tenuous relationships to schooling and education
are an enduring challenge when it comes to addressing social
inclusion, yet their experiences remain overlooked in efforts to
widen participation in higher education. The Politics of Widening
Participation and University Access for Young People examines the
existing knowledges and feelings these young people have about
higher education, and, through the authors' empirical research,
demonstrates how sustained connections to educational futures can
be created for them. Drawing from an empirical study with nearly
three hundred young people who have precarious relationships to
schooling and live in disadvantaged communities, this book offers
new insights into their subjects' experiences of educational
disadvantages. It explains the different ways the university is
constructed as impossible, undesirable, or even risky, by young
people experiencing educational disadvantage. The book brings their
stories into focus to offer new ways of thinking about the
educational consequences of alienation from school. It shows how
our understanding of the politics of experience of these young
people has an important impact on our ability to develop
appropriate means through which to engage them in higher education.
This book challenges and significantly advances the popular frames
for international debate on widening participation and the ethical
right to educational participation in contemporary society. As
such, it will be of be of key interest to academics, researchers
and postgraduate students in the fields of higher education,
sociology of education, anthropology of education, cultural studies
of education, sociology as well as to those concerned by the impact
of disadvantage on young people's understandings of, and
aspirations towards, education and attending university.
