Textul de pe ultima copertă
“With a focus on the Australian context, Garth Stahl offers a glimpse into the world of working-class masculinities and the blurring of social class lines ...a deep dive into the higher education experience, this book provokes a rethink of the working-class masculinities that we thought we all knew and understood.”
—Michael Kehler, Research Professor of Masculinities Studies in Education, University of Calgary, Canada
“Garth Stahl’s book highlights the ongoing reality and complexity of structural inequity in, and beyond, higher education. This is a rich exploration of masculinities, through a study of young men who were ‘first in family’ to attend university.”
—Andrew Harvey, Program Director, Pathways in Place, Griffith University, Australia
