| Sommario/riassunto: | This book explores the challenges faced by marginalized groups in higher education, focusing on barriers related to disability, gender, race, sexual identity, and social class. Author Troy Heffernan examines these issues through a Bourdieusian lens, highlighting how higher education has evolved to become more inclusive yet still falls short of true diversity and accessibility. The book combines Heffernan's personal experiences with academic research to provide insight into the systemic changes needed for a more equitable educational environment. Intended for educators, policymakers, and scholars, it emphasizes the importance of fostering inclusive practices to support marginalized students and staff. |
