At various times during the history of the university in England different groups have been denied access because of their circumstances and characteristics. There have also been points when great expansion has taken place. This thesis aims to explore these points in time; namely the emergence of the red-brick universities in the late nineteenth century, the plate-glass universities in the 1960s and the period post-1992 when many former polytechnics were granted university status. The methodology has been developed from the notion that texts, particularly works of fiction, are under-used as a source of education research and that, although using them presents challenges, they provide a rich source of information for researchers and offer insights into the debates, policies and practices of widening participation, and, most particularly, about how they are represented in wider culture. A framework for deconstructing textual representations, including policy documents, parliamentary papers, novels and films, was identified. The three part framework, focusing on context, text and intertext, has then been used to read a variety of texts; and the representations contained in them used to illuminate the important issue of access to higher education in the three "spots of time". For the nineteenth century debates and policies the key texts include Parliamentary Papers and contemporaneous essays and commentaries and the fictional texts are George Eliot's Middlemarch (1871) and Thomas Hardy's final novel, Jude the Obscure (1895). For the emergence of the plate-glass universities the key policy text is the Robbins Report, while the fictional texts are Kingsley Arnis's Lucky Jim (1953) and Malcolm Bradbury's The History Man (1975). For the most recent period The Dearing Report and some responses to it provide the policy texts and David Nicholls' Starter for 10 (2003) and Engleby (2007) by Sebastian Faulks are the fictional texts. The thesis highlights some of the main problems with using a variety of texts in education research, but concludes that, if handled with care, they may provide interesting examples of wider representations of key issues than are found elsewhere. Interesting insights that emerged highlight key themes around widening participation; these include barriers to inclusion and student support, both at the transition stage and during the student experience. Contextualising the material, conducting a elose textual reading and drawing on intertextual relationships with other texts collaborate to offer a robust framework for informed research.

Until 2015, no refugees in Malaysia were able to access higher education, and they were unable to attend government schooling. Since then, six private higher education institutions have agreed to open their doors to refugees for the first time. This book contains stories from this small group of successful refugees, who have managed to receive higher education in a country that neither recognizes that they exist nor offers them even basic education. It identifies the factors that aided their success, and charts the challenges that they and their communities have faced. The authors present each story, based on interviews, within the context of the individual’s background and nation of origin. These stories are framed by a discussion of the situation that refugees face in accessing education globally, explaining how these stories and the methodologies used for this study are universal.

Debunking the Grit Narrative in Higher Education examines pressing structural issues currently impacting African American, Asian American, Pacific Islander, Latinx, and Native American students accessing college and succeeding in U.S. postsecondary environments. Drawing from asset-based work of critical race education scholars such as Yosso, Ladson-Billings, and contributing author Solórzano, the authors interrogate how systems and structures shape definitions of academic merit and grit, how these systems constrain opportunities to attain access and equitable educational outcomes, and challenge widely held beliefs that students of color need grit to succeed in college. Dominant narratives of educational success and failure tend to focus mostly on individual student effort. Contributing authors explore the myriad ways that institutional structures can support students of color utilizing their strengths through critical perspectives, asset-based, anti-deficit perspectives to access postsecondary environments and experience success. Scholars, scholar-practitioners, students affairs professionals, and educational leaders will benefit from this timely edited volume as they work to transform postsecondary institutions into entities that meet the needs of students and communities of color.

This open access book, now in its second edition, offers a comprehensive overview of the experiences of First in Family (FiF) or first-generation students in higher education. It draws upon narratives of students and their family members and spans the entire university student life cycle (pre-entry, commencement, progression and graduation) with a focus on specific cohorts including mature-aged students, parents or carers, as well as the differentiated experiences of male and female learners. With research drawn from three major research projects and including over 650 FiF students from across all Australian states and territories, as well as Europe, this wealth of perspectives provides unique insights into the lived reality of attending university in contemporary higher education settings. The book is written for a broad audience and will appeal to those working in universities, as well as family members and students who may be contemplating participating in higher education.

This book features theorized narratives from academics who inhabit marginalized identity positions, including, among others, academics with non-normative genders, sexualities, and relationships; nontenured faculty; racial and ethnic minorities; scholars with HIV, depression and anxiety, and other disabilities; immigrants and international students; and poor and working-class faculty and students. The chapters in this volume explore the ways in which marginalized identities fundamentally shape and impact the academic experience; thus, the contributors in this collection demonstrate how academic outsiderism works both within the confines of their college or university systems, and a broader matrix of community, state, and international relations. With an emphasis on the inherent intersectionality of identity positions, this book addresses the broad matrix of ways academics navigate their particular locations as marginalized subjects.

The role of higher education in the lives of individuals and the course of society is greater today than at any point in the past. Postsecondary credentials are required for many professions, and economies, from the local to the national, rely on colleges and universities to provide skilled labor. Higher education also gives access to socially-recognized, highly-valued identities. In this dissertation, I examine the meaning of higher education in the lives of 23 poor and working-class young adult women attending community college as they pursue social mobility and places as valued members of society. I examine the narratives that they tell and re-tell through four waves of life history interviews over a three-and-a-half year period from fall 2010 to spring 2014. By focusing on poor and working-class women in community college, I look at those students who face some of the greatest obstacles and least possibilities of attaining their degrees. At the same time, the consequences of failure, both socioeconomically and culturally, are especially severe for poor and working-class women. I show how the community college functions as a narrative hub that ties together broad cultural beliefs, personal biography, and institutionally-structured life stories. When the women in this study experienced delayed or blocked progress toward college and career attainment, they either held steady to their aspirations or engaged in a process of narrative revision. They did so not only out of a pragmatic pursuit of social mobility but also as a way to fulfill a cultural imperative to be ambitious. I argue that the ability of poor and working-class women to display ambition is shaped by the institutional resources they have access to. The community college's open access structure and vocational character make ambitious storytelling possible, even when students make little or no progress toward completion. Outside of college, disadvantaged women may turn to institutions that allow for ambitious practices of self-improvement, such as religion or sport, or allow them to care for others, such as the family. Ultimately, this dissertation shows that higher education is as much a source of meaning and virtue as social mobility in today's society.
