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 these young people's experiences has an important impact on our ability to develop appropriate means through which to engage them in higher education.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47608128110828,"sku":"9781138613768","price":106.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781138613768-the-politics-of-widening-participation-and-university-access-for-young-people.jpg?v=1778184739"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/anna-hickey-moody.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
