Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd


This comprehensive volume delves into the profound impact that university institutions have on the lives of student carers, as well as the intricate challenges they face in balancing their care responsibilities with their academic pursuits. Through a detailed exploration of the experiences of student carers across various academic cultures, the book sheds light on the complex interplay of gender, class, race, and other social factors that shape their ability to assume the dual roles of student and carer.

At the heart of this book lies a commitment to equity and diversity in higher education, recognizing the diverse needs and experiences of individuals with care responsibilities. It seeks to provide a platform for these individuals to access and engage with degree-level study, fostering a more inclusive and equitable learning environment.

The book advocates for the development of care-full academic cultures that value and recognize the contributions of carers, promoting a holistic approach to education that encompasses both academic excellence and personal well-being. It offers valuable insights for academics, researchers, and post-graduate students interested in higher education, social justice, gender studies, and caring responsibilities.

Furthermore, this book will be of immense interest to postgraduate students in sociology of education and higher education policymakers, as it provides valuable perspectives and recommendations for addressing the needs of student carers and creating supportive policies and practices.
