Media Reviews
A timely, empirical and theoretical addition to the literature. Sociology
Social Inclusion and Higher Education is a well-balanced set of essays on a key contemporary topic and offers an impressively incisive and panoramic survey of the complex issues at stake. Ron Barnett, Emeritus Professor of Higher Education, Institute of Education, London
Inclusive mass education alone is not enough. But it is a start, and when status reproduction can be modified and the focus falls on student agency, education suddenly finds itself at the cutting edge of active democracy. This engaging collection by Tehmina Basit and Sally Tomlinson reworks familiar issues with fresh eyes. It explores the class, ethnic and gender dimensions of empowerment and maps their many intersections. Simon Marginson, University of Melbourne, Australia
