Field of study and the subjective labour market outcomes of UK graduates
Field choice in higher education has been shown to be highly influential on earnings and employment, yet little is known about how field of study affects recent graduates’ subjective labour market outcomes. This article uses ‘Graduate Voice’ data from the 2018/19 UK Graduate Outcomes survey to examine the effect of field choice on three subjective measures: whether work is meaningful, career is on track, and using graduate skills. Employing a sel…
The canvas ceiling in neoliberal academia
Purpose This paper aims to explore the lived experiences of Syrian women from refugee backgrounds seeking to establish academic careers, whilst navigating the dual pressures of displacement and gendered inequities in neoliberal higher education institutions (HEIs). In light of recent geopolitical events, this research highlights the compounded challenges they face within market-driven academic environments. Design/methodology/approach This study …
Reconceptualising graduate resilience – an integrated multi-level framework for future research
Mind the gap
Increasingly higher education institutions are expected to demonstrate their contribution to academia, society, and the economy. This is pertinent for business schools as a key purpose for them is to provide education that enhances management practice, with Doctorates in Business Administration (DBAs) being the highest-level qualification offered in pursuit of this goal. Yet there is scant research that captures the impact of DBAs beyond the indi…
Networks Amongst Syrians
This article employs Yuval‐Davis concept of situated intersectionality to explore processes of relational embedding amongst Syrian migrants in the UK. By drawing on in‐depth interview data from 31 men and women living in North East England, we explore how varying social categories—or positionalities—intersect and shape personal networks and feelings of attachment amongst Syrians. We show how wider structural contexts and systems of social relatio…
Navigating the graduate labour market
Significant expansions in higher education over the last few decades have raised concerns about an over-supply of graduates in the labour market, such that a degree no longer seamlessly translates into a graduate career or occupation, with the increased life chances this could bring. In this paper, we report a study of undergraduates’ perceptions of graduate careers and the graduate labour market. As the data showed perceptions were shaped strong…
Female and foreign
This article explores how the intersection of gender and foreignness shapes the experiences of skilled migrant women. Drawing on interviews with skilled migrant women working in Qatar, we situate their experiences in institutional, organizational and sociocultural terms to show how the intersection is articulated and mobilized to subordinate, marginalize and exclude them in work and social spaces. Findings show that the intersection is used to re…
Intersections, Divisions, and Distinctions
While there is a growing body of research which explores the dramatic changes of higher education, following recent policies of widening participation and ‘internationalisation’, to date much of the research has focused on discrete ‘non-traditional’ groups. Based on qualitative data gathered from international and widening participation students, we explore the crossovers and parallels of their experiences, which is not to say that both groups ar…
