Widening Access to Higher Education in Divided Communities

By Forum for Access and Continuing Education

Drawing on papers originally presented at the 2012 Forum for Access and Continuing Education (FACE) annual conference at the University of Ulster in Derry/Londonderry, this book brings together contributions offering a wide range of insights from an equally wide range of perspectives. Together, they form a text that considers the significant effects that different types of division have on the collective efforts to widen participation in higher education. Against the backdrop of an ongoing policy commitment to widening access and social mobility, featured strongly across the chapters, the book offers a unique breadth of coverage of the key issues. With contributions by researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and academics in the field, instances of innovative practice are showcased through comparisons and case studies.
