Through in-depth longitudinal case studies, it sheds light on how young men from working-class backgrounds navigate complex social inequalities and utilize various capitals to achieve success. By adopting a longitudinal approach, the book challenges the notion of limited aspirations and highlights how class and gender shape the lives and futures of these young men. It demonstrates how a intricate interplay of race\/ethnicity, religion, masculinity, and social class influences their aspirations. Furthermore, the book establishes connections between the participants' lived experiences and the implications for policy and practice in higher education. Each case study encourages readers to engage in critical thinking about masculinities in relation to social practices, institutional arrangements, and cultural ideologies. This book is a valuable resource for scholars interested in expanding participation in higher education, gender theory\/masculinities, longitudinal research, and social justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 453g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367515102\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GarthStahl","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":45179404779770,"sku":"9780367515102","price":39.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_4658fdbb-7ce8-4fbd-a51f-70508be32081.jpg?v=1707753215","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/workingclass-masculinities-in-australian-higher-education-policies-pathways-and-progress-9780367515102","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
