Abstract | Examines the experiences of 12 working class women attending an Access course at an inner city further education college. Risks and costs involved in transitioning to higher education were evident in the women's narratives. Material and cultural factors inhibited their access to higher education. The desire to "give something back" motivated participants' attempts to move into higher education. Participants juggled work, child care, and domestic responsibilities with studying. (SM) |
