Identity and Difference in Higher Education
Pauline Anderson and Jenny Williams (Eds)Ashgate2001ISBN 0 754 61158 2£39.95
Represents an accessible text for students of sociology, women's studies, gender studies, education and cultural studies. Includes contributions from feminists who use various conceptual approaches to shed light on the shifting identities of students and staff in the context of British higher education. Contends that the changing composition of both groups – including more mature, black and disabled people – has given rise to a situation where many feel like "outsiders within". Draws on qualitative research and personal narratives. Offers insights into the multi-layered nature of staff and student identities.
