Professor Mary Evans (University of Kent)

 

For Us or Against Us: Coercion and Consensus in Higher Education

 

 

In debates about the admissions of state school pupils to Oxbridge those
defending Oxbridge have challenged the idea that universities should be
'engines of social change'. At the same time Oxbridge, and other
universities have accepted the responsibility of 'enabling'
entrepreneurship and other market led initiatives. I want to explore
some of the implications of this position in terms of the 'making' of
the person in higher education and in particular the ways in which
conservative refusals of radical gender and class change re-inforce
structural inequalities.

 

 

This seminar is part of the Gender and Sexuality: The Discursive Limits
of 'Equality' in Higher Education seminar series funded by the
University of Birmingham Deans' Funding Initiative
