摘要本文对高等教育中扩大参与（WP）的相关研究进行了反思和批判性回顾。开展这项研究的动机是为了纪念迪林报告《学习型社会中的高等教育》（1997年）发表20周年；这份文件点燃了工人党广泛的活动和政策。迪林的报告在英国发表，是自1963年罗宾斯报告以来对英国高等教育最重要的评论之一。他对高等教育的愿景包括地方和地区社区与大学之间的“契约”，并强调工作机会和更大的学生多样性。我借鉴了我自迪林以来在WP方面的研究，与其他研究项目进行了比较，并与我在各种背景下作为实践者和研究人员的经历进行了比较，包括最近在一所1992年后以WP机构而闻名的大学。本文确定了过去20年WP活动中出现的几个核心主题，并导致WP研究中增加了一个维度的发展。这需要更多地考虑今天WP学生的复杂和异质身份。然后，它回到了迪林的一些原始主题，并考虑了工人党如何处于当前影响高等教育的新自由主义气候中；它提出了一套关于未来WP研究的讨论思路。
Abstract This paper is a reflective and critical review of research relating to widening participation (WP) in higher education (HE). The motivation for undertaking this was the twentieth anniversary of the Dearing Report Higher Education in the Learning Society (1997); a document that ignited a wide range of WP activity and policy. Dearing’s report was published in the United Kingdom and represents one of the most significant reviews of higher education in this country since the Robbins’ Report of 1963. His vision for HE included a “compact” between local and regional communities and their universities, and emphasised WP and greater student diversity. I draw on my own research in WP since Dearing, compare with other research projects, and compare with my experiences as a practitioner and researcher in various contexts, including most recently in a post-1992 university known for being a WP institution. This paper identifies several core themes that emerged from WP activities over the last 20 years and leads to the development of an added dimension in WP research. It calls for more consideration of the complex and heterogeneous identities of WP students today. It then returns to some of Dearing’s original themes and considers how WP is situated in the current neoliberal climate affecting HE; it presents a set of ideas for discussion with respect to the future of WP research.
