'Beyond access? Social mobility and life chances'

Beyond access? Social mobility and life chances of non-traditional students after graduation

When: Tuesday, 9 May 2017

Time: 13.00-14.30 (light refreshments available from 12.30)

Where: The Blue Room, The Helix DCU - Glasnevin Campus*

In this seminar Professor John Field, Adjunct Professor in HERC and Emeritus Professor of Education, Stirling University, draws on data from across Europe to examine patterns of social mobility and life chances for ‘non-traditional’ students after they complete their studies.

While some progress has been made in widening access to higher education for students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds and also different age groups, little is known about what happens after graduation. As is well documented in relation to women, participation in higher education does not guarantee equality of subsequent outcomes.
