{"product_id":"community-matters-jennifer-gore-9780367894993","title":"Community Matters: The Complex Links Between Community and Young People's Aspirations for Higher Education","description":"\u003cp\u003eWorking towards equity of access to higher education remains a fundamental issue of social justice. Despite substantial efforts to redress historical exclusions via a wealth of government and institutional policies, longstanding enrolment patterns persist and new forms of inequality have emerged in a deeply stratified system.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCommunity Matters: The Complex Links Between Community and Young People's Aspirations for Higher Education \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a new lens on equity of access. The policy focus, nationally and globally, on widening participation for under-represented target groups too readily treats such groups as if they have a singular voice, a singular history, and a singular set of concerns. Drawing on the perspectives of Australian school students, their parents\/carers, teachers, and a vast array of residents from seven diverse communities, this book uses the lens of 'community' to reframe inequitable access. It does so by recognising the complex social and cultural forces at play locally that shape how young people form and articulate their post-school futures.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn light of unprecedented challenges facing the higher education sector, this book interrogates dominant understandings of 'widening participation' and 'aspiration, ' and offers timely insights about the broader economic, social, and cultural backdrop of aspiration formation. It is a valuable resource for academics and students interested in the sociology of higher education and for practitioners working at the forefront of equity policy and practice.　\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Gore, Sally Patfield, Leanne Fray\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367894998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367894993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/30\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.38d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jennifer Gore","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44070721814783,"sku":"9780367894993","price":155.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4107b294-646a-4602-9a8d-6a34cd5cbddb.jpg?v=1685431980","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/community-matters-jennifer-gore-9780367894993","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
