The Ethics of Widening Participation Series
The aim to widen participation in higher education has been high on government agendas over the last 15 years. While there has been some increase in the proportion of students from under-represented groups, progress has been quite limited. Much of the activity around widening participation has been directed at those that do not participate and, while this is valuable and essential work, universities have been slow to change. Our third event in this series will explore how the core processes of higher education have continued to privilege some sectors of society to the exclusion of others. The speakers will review some of the underlying social, economic and cultural factors that have framed university education and consider the implications of current policy on increasing access and offer some ideas for the future to open the debate with participants and more widely in the sector.
