White Working-Class Boys by Mary-Claire Travers

If you are a white working-class boy you are less likely than anyone else in Britain to go to university. So said Prime Minister May in her maiden speech.

Mary-Claire Travers traces the educational trajectories of a group of white working-class young men who have succeeded academically and who tell her eloquently about how and why they did so. The author's positive research and insightful analysis makes for a unique contribution to the study of social mobility and social justice. She and her participants offer policymakers, education researchers and teacher educators vital evidence-based recommendations for tackling the long-standing issue of white working-class boys' academic underachievement.
Travers, Mary-Claire: - Mary-Claire Travers is an academic researcher at UCL Institute of Education.
