This article explores the impact of stigma and how theoretically ‘productive’ stigmatising narratives can be in getting factions of the working class to seemingly help themselves out of poverty. To do so, it draws upon the narratives of working-class single mothers on an Access t…

Understanding racialised elements of habitus of working-class women on an access to higher education course
Using Bourdieu’s concept of habitus to explore higher education decision-making for working class women on an access to higher education course

Pedagogy of empowerment
What is more important in education than inclusion? In this present paper we argue that inclusion must be the starting point in the design of education. We focus on how all students can be included in the process of learning in formal education settings. We theoretically explore (a) whether applying a self-directed learning framework in education can enable co-produced pedagogic spaces, and then (b) the potential for self-directed co-produced ped…

Educating the Ritas
As a tutor and lecturer, I see many ‘Ritas’: mature women, who are often mothers, carers and partners returning to education with the ambition of learning and developing themselves academically, and for some qualifying into professional careers such as a nurse, social worker, biologist, and a university graduate. During their time on the course, as education opens their eyes and changes their mindsets, internal conflicts can occur for students wh…
