The expansion witnessed in participation rates over the last few decades has largely been achieved by a modest broadening of the base of the undergraduate population, in terms of both social class and ethnic diversity. The issue of just who enjoys access to which university, and the experiences and outcomes of graduates from different institutions remain central to questions of social justice, notably higher education's contribution to social mobility and to the reproduction of social inequality. This collection of contemporary original writings explores these issues in a range of specific contexts, and through employing a range of theoretically and methodologically approaches.
