While there is considerable literature on social inequality and education, there is little recent work which explores notions of difference and diversity in relation to 'race, ' class and gender. This edited text brings together researchers in the field of education to investigate the ways in which dominant perspectives on 'difference, ' intersectionality and institutional structures underpin and reinforce educational inequality in schools and higher educatio

Education is a controversial subject in which difficult and contested discourses are the norm. Individuals in education experience multiple inequalities and have diverse identifications that cannot necessarily be captured by one theoretical perspective alone. This edited collection draws on empirical and theoretical research to examine the intersections of "race," gender and class, alongside other aspects of personhood, within education. Contributors from the fields of education and sociology seek to locate the dimensions of difference and identity within recent theoretical discourses such...

Kalwant Bhopal and Patrick Danaher examine 'race', identity and gender within education and explore the difficulties of relating these concepts to the experience of students in higher education. In drawing together the experience of local and international students in the UK and in Australia, they examine the ways identities are understood and conceptualized within higher education in local contexts and on a global level. They consider the complexity of 'race', gender and identity in relation to education within the context that education continues to be dominated by predominantly white,...

Recent research suggests that Black and minority ethnic (BME) academics remain underrepresented, particularly at senior levels in higher education, and tend to be concentrated in new, post-1992 universities.

Presenting a distinctive and engaging voice, the book discusses the complexity of race, gender and identity in the context of higher education, an area...
