A presentation from the HEA's Research Conference: Promoting Equity in Higher Education 2010.
The Academy continues to commission and publish research syntheses which are made available to the sector through its EvidenceNet service (www.heacademy.ac.uk/evidencenet). Each one in the series identifies significant research on a particular topic presents a summary of key reports synthesises the findings from these reports together with those from the wider literature on the topic and explores the implications for stakeholders.
This workshop will focus on the findings of a synthesis of the literature on the role of social class in the access participation retention and success of students in higher education. Participants will be invited to engage with the findings and examine the implications of the key messages for different stakeholder groups in their own institution. The session is being led by the author of the synthesis which is due for publication in Spring 2010.
