Book Synopsis Negotiating Access to Higher Education by : Jenny Williams
Download or read book Negotiating Access to Higher Education written by Jenny Williams and published by Open University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who has access to higher education and how are students selected? How is access discussed and whose voices are heard? As we move toward a mass higher education system who are the 'new' students, and why and how are they so labelled? Negotiating Access to Higher Education uses a discourse approach as a framework for making sense of recent changes in access to higher education. It analyses these changes and the debates surrounding them across several levels of policy, practice and experience within the higher education system: the state, higher education agencies, research, institutions, admissions tutors, and students. It examines how discursive struggles over entitlement, selectivity and equity determine who can be a student; what varying understandings inform admissions policies and practices; and the relationship between those policies (and practices) and student needs in a changing system.
Book Synopsis Negotiating Disability by : Stephanie L Kerschbaum
Download or read book Negotiating Disability written by Stephanie L Kerschbaum and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disability is not always central to claims about diversity and inclusion in higher education, but should be. This collection reveals the pervasiveness of disability issues and considerations within many higher education populations and settings, from classrooms to physical environments to policy impacts on students, faculty, administrators, and staff. While disclosing one’s disability and identifying shared experiences can engender moments of solidarity, the situation is always complicated by the intersecting factors of race and ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and class. With disability disclosure as a central point of departure, this collection of essays builds on scholarship that highlights the deeply rhetorical nature of disclosure and embodied movement, emphasizing disability disclosure as a complex calculus in which degrees of perceptibility are dependent on contexts, types of interactions that are unfolding, interlocutors’ long- and short-term goals, disabilities, and disability experiences, and many other contingencies.

Book Synopsis Negotiating Learning and Identity in Higher Education by : Bongi Bangeni
Download or read book Negotiating Learning and Identity in Higher Education written by Bongi Bangeni and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-09-21 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While access to higher education has increased globally, student retention has become a major challenge. This book analyses various aspects of the learning pathways of black students from a range of disciplinary backgrounds at a relatively elite, English-medium, historically white South African university. The students are part of a generation of young black people who have grown up in the new South Africa and are gaining access to higher education in unprecedented numbers. Based on two longitudinal case studies, Negotiating Learning and Identity in Higher Education makes a contribution to the debates about how to facilitate access and graduation of working-class students. The longitudinal perspective enabled the students participating in the research to reflect on their transition to university and the stumbling blocks they encountered in their senior years. The contributors show that the school-to-university transition is not linear or universal. Students had to negotiate multiple transitions at various times and both resist and absorb institutional, disciplinary and home discourses. The book describes and analyses the students' ambivalence as they straddle often conflicting discourses within their disciplines; within the institution; between home and the institution, and as they occupy multiple subject positions that are related to the boundaries of place and time. Each chapter also describes the ways in which the institution supports and/or hinders students' progress, explores the implications of its findings for models of support and addresses the issue of what constitutes meaningful access to institutional and disciplinary discourses.

Book Synopsis Risk-Taking in Higher Education by : Ryan Kelty
Download or read book Risk-Taking in Higher Education written by Ryan Kelty and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-03-08 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Risk-taking is foundational to the structure and goals of higher education. Encouraging students to consider new, diverse, even uncomfortable ideas is needed to develop a critically informed view of the world and establish one’s own values and beliefs. Yet, students and parents are increasingly averse to risk-taking in higher education; a shift evidenced by calls for colleges and universities to provide an education that shelters students from diverse and potentially controversial ideas and topics. This tension over the necessary role of risk-taking in higher education represents a critical moment for American education. This volume includes authors from numerous academic disciplines to emphasize both the importance of risk-taking across higher education and to highlight the varied approaches to incorporate risk-taking into classroom practices. The authors’ collective works in this volume reaffirm the critical need to reject intellectual coddling and commodification in the college classroom, and to promote intellectual risk-taking as an essential aspect of higher education. Sustained, systematic emphasis on risk-taking in higher education is key to promoting innovation, critical thinking, life-long learning, and moral-ethical development.
Book Synopsis College Students’ Experiences of Power and Marginality by : Elizabeth M. Lee
Download or read book College Students’ Experiences of Power and Marginality written by Elizabeth M. Lee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-27 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As scholars and administrators have sharpened their focus on higher education beyond trends in access and graduation rates for underrepresented college students, there are growing calls for understanding the experiential dimensions of college life. This contributed book explores what actually happens on campus as students from an increasingly wide range of backgrounds enroll and share space. Chapter authors investigate how students of differing socioeconomic backgrounds, genders, and racial/ethnic groups navigate academic institutions alongside each other. Rather than treat diversity as mere difference, this volume provides dynamic analyses of how students come to experience both power and marginality in their campus lives. Each chapter comprises an empirical qualitative study from scholars engaged in cutting-edge research about campus life. This exciting book provides administrators and faculty new ways to think about students’ vulnerabilities and strengths.

While disclosing one's disability and identifying shared experiences can engender moments of solidarity, the situation is always complicated by the intersecting factors of race and ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and class. The contributors to Negotiating Disability use disclosure as a statrting point to explore how disability is named, identified, claimed, and negotiated within higher education settings. The essays reflect a broad set of scholarly approaches (e.g., interviews with disabled students and analyses of statistical data) and research interests (e.g., implications for future policy and change, representations of disability in popular culture, literature, and media.)". --Cover.

Book Synopsis Negotiating the Glass Ceiling by : Dr Miriam David
Download or read book Negotiating the Glass Ceiling written by Dr Miriam David and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-08-10 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is it that in many universities the number of women professors can literally be counted on the fingers of one hand while the number of men number in the hundreds? Why are women academics so relatively disadvantaged and men so firmly in control? In an attempt to find answers to these questions Negotiating the Glass Ceiling gathers together the unique personal reflections of 16 eminent women working in higher education across the world. These personal reflections document some of the changing patterns of women's lives in higher education since the war, a time of massive social change within education itself, as well as in women's lives outside higher education. They also illustrate that the changes that have occured have been hard won and not without consequences for the women involved.

Book Synopsis The Rhetoric of Widening Participation in Higher Education and its Impact by : Navin Kikabhai
Download or read book The Rhetoric of Widening Participation in Higher Education and its Impact written by Navin Kikabhai and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a critical investigation of the exclusion of individuals described as having ‘learning difficulties’ from participation in higher education. Using a postmodernist framework, the author explores the insights and experiences of a theatre group attempting to develop an undergraduate degree programme in the performing arts. In doing so, he provides a theoretical map of insights into discourses of power and knowledge, and makes transparent competing and contradictory discursive practices. Suggesting that ‘learning difficulties’ is a constructed and re-constructed discourse serving normative interests, the author demonstrates that despite the rhetoric of widening participation, individuals are intentionally beset by barriers, silenced and excluded from degree level participation. The author calls for a radical re-think of the notion of ‘learning difficulties’, segregated provision, access to employment in theatre, and critically questions the notion of participation in higher education. This pioneering volume will appeal to students and scholars of inclusive education, (critical) disability studies, cultural studies and the sociology of education.
