  • The Role of Higher Education in Shaping Attitudes to the Environment and Economic Growth: Evidence From the World Values Survey

    Open AccessHelen Cabalu, Paul Koshy et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Environment &…2026

    Research on the determinants of public attitudes on the environment requires a focus on factors influencing values and responses across countries. One important influence is the global expansion of university education in recent decades, with increased higher education attainment emerging as a potentially important factor affecting public support for the environment across countries. This paper provides evidence on the impact of higher education …

  • Student’s reported satisfaction at University: The role of personal characteristics and secondary school background

    Open AccessIan W Li, Denise Jackson et al.ARTICLEHigher Education2025

    Widening participation and improving outcomes for under-represented and disadvantaged groups in higher education are part of the strategic agenda of governments across the globe. A critical aspect of this challenge is enhancing the experience of students from such backgrounds. However, there is relatively limited evidence on the effects of student background, including social and geographical disadvantage and secondary education preparation, on s…

  • Higher education and the importance of values: Evidence from the World Values Survey

    Open AccessPaul Koshy, Helen Cabalu et al.ARTICLEHigher Education2023

    The collection of data on values through instruments such as the World Values Survey has focused attention on two opposing but inter-related trends, namely the combination of substantial cultural change in many countries and the persistence of distinctive traditional values. This reflects the interplay between social changes associated with modernisation and globalisation—including increased global trade and the rise of global popular culture—wit…

  • Parental expectations of children’s higher education participation in Australia

    Open AccessAlfred Michael Dockery, Paul Koshy et al.ARTICLEBritish Educational Research…2022Cited by: 2References: 30

    The role of parental expectations in determining children's higher education participation is important in understanding both participation and potential policy responses. Using a nationally representative longitudinal survey of Australian households, providing repeat observations on expectations for individual children, this study extends the literature in several respects. First, it examines the adaptation of parental expectations over a 4‐year…

  • The implications of Covid-19 for student equity in Australian higher education

    Susan O’shea, Paul Koshy et al.ARTICLEJournal of Higher Education…2021Cited by: 6References: 16

    The COVID-19 pandemic has both widened and exacerbated student equity issues in Australian higher education, just as it has increased economic and social disadvantage in the general population. This article identifies the immediate impacts of the pandemic on existing equity structures, mapping potential areas for research analysis and policy responses. Given the pervasive nature of COVID-19, it is proposed that a whole-of-system approach be used,…

  • Parental expectations for young people's participation in higher education in Australia

    Paul Koshy, Alfred Michael Dockery et al.ARTICLEStudies in Higher Education2019Cited by: 7References: 38

    This paper examines factors affecting parental expectations of higher education prospects for their children using Australian household survey data. We find that a variety of factors influence parental expectations, of which parents’ assessment of their children’s academic performance is the strongest. Factors known to impact upon actual higher education participation, such as parental education and remoteness, are already evident in parental exp…

  • Transnational Labour Migration and the place of Reproductive Labour: Trailing Wives and Community Support in Boddington

    Open AccessRobyn Mayes, Paul KoshyARTICLEWork Employment and Society2018Cited by: 3References: 25

    This article addresses the need for critical attention to families and place in the labour migration literature. Through examination of the experiences of trailing wives, it highlights the interconnected roles of state regulation, industry practice and destination communities in the gendering of transnational labour migration. Specifically, we attend to the experiences of trailing wives accompanying partners who migrated to Boddington in rural We…

  • Promoting low socio-economic participation in higher education: A Comparison of Area-Based and Individual Measures

    Alfred Michael Dockery, Richard Seymour et al.ARTICLEStudies in Higher Education2016Cited by: 7References: 9

    As with other countries, Australia has been grappling with the identification, measurement and impact of disadvantage in higher education. In particular, the measurement of socio-economic status (SES) has been of central concern. The immediate solution in Australia has been the introduction of an ‘area’ measure in which students' SES is categorised on the basis of census data for their neighbourhoods rather than on individual or household data. T…
