Recenzii
This book makes an important contribution to thinking about 'quality' ... Its strength is in the cumulative power of both its theoretical and empirical arguments ... I always felt I was contributing to transforming students' lives and was proud of what we did but this book gives the intellectual arguments for why quality is found in places where the neo-liberal gaze does not expect it. A most impressive accomplishment - it deserves a wide readership.
A lively and engaging book about the importance of sociology as a subject in undergraduate students' lives and how it might empower such students' futures. It neatly uses Bernsteinian perspectives to enrich the argument about continuing inequalities and qualities in higher education and society.
An important and grounded critique of the simplistic notion that quality is related primarily to university status. The study offers encouraging findings on how, across four very different university contexts, young people experienced higher education as profoundly transformative. Notably, the authors' analysis is able to identify the kinds of curricular and pedagogical arrangements that are making the greatest impact in terms of ameliorating social inequities in students' background.
