Ciaran Burke

Culture, Capitals and Graduate Futures

Degrees of class

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The idea of a linear progression from higher education to graduate employment is the basis on which policies such as widening participation and increase in tuition fees have been predicated. However, there is a disconnect between policy and experience as issues of social and class barriers into graduate employment have consistently persisted, with graduates facing an unemployment rate of up to 40%. This book uses graduate case studies to explore what other forms of capital influence graduates' trajectories. These factors are framed within a greater "cultural" reading of class, appreciating the interconnectedness between class, gender, race and ethnicity.
