A Risky Business? Mature Working-Class Women Students and Access to Higher Education.
Overview & Synopsis
Examines the experiences of 12 working class women attending an Access course at an inner city further education college. Risks and costs involved in transitioning to higher education were evident in the women's narratives. Material and cultural factors inhibited their access to higher education.
