Higher Education and Social Class by Louise Archer
Built on research findings and data from a wide variety of empirical and attitudinal sources, this book raises timely issues about elitism, expansion, quality and access in higher education.'This is a very good book that is extremely challenging for policy-makers in higher educationWhile some of the questions discussed in this book are beginning to be addressed, many are not, and the book offers important insights into the difficult issues that face decision-makers in the field. I would also recommend the book to any researcher in the field of widening participation as an excellent summary of the debates in the field.' - British Educational Research Journal
'Higher Education and Social Class is essential reading for anyone interested in grappling seriously with widening participation in higher education.' - Studies in Higher Education
'an interesting book and one which will be helpful to practitioners, policy-makers and students ... [it is] valuable in reminding us that while participation in higher education has increased for all social classes it is the higher classes who continue to benefit the most.' - Studies in the Education of Adults
'This book has many strengths and I would recommend it highly for both under- and postgraduate students and many of their teachers. It is clear, readable and thorough in its pursuit of an understanding of the complexities of one of the most intractable of current educational problems.' - Jenny Williams, University of Wolverhampton, LATISS
