Working Class Female Students' Experiences of Higher Education : Identities, Choices and Emotions Paperback / softback
by Sam Shields
Part of the Palgrave Studies in Gender and Education series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book explores the experiences of working-class women undergraduates at three universities in the North of England.
The author examines the women’s identities, choices and emotions in relation to higher education; and how they reframe their constrained university choices to maximise their chances of academic success.
Highlighting differences in working-class women’s learner identities, caring commitments and quests for upwards social mobility, the book offers an understanding of working-class female student journeys and their mixture of compromise, uncertainty and hope.
It will be of interest and value to scholars of working-class women students, widening participation, and sociologists of education.
