在过去的25年里，高等教育经历了从精英教育系统到大众教育系统的转变。这种由成熟学生和年轻学生推动的扩张，使高等教育领域比十年前更加复杂和不稳定。本文试图通过对十名高等教育申请者的个案研究，对当代高等教育选择的过程进行初步的理论分析，这种过程既适用于客户群体的日益多样化，也适用于继续存在的机会不平等。研究认为，性别、种族和社会阶层的交集是理解学生高等教育选择体验的关键。在扩大入学方面，高等教育政策可以被视为是在促进社会正义。然而，有人认为，这十名学生的经历指向了一个更复杂、更不乐观的结论。
The last 25 years have seen a transition from an ‘elite’ to a ‘mass’ system of higher education. This expansion fuelled by mature as well as younger students has made the field of higher education far more complex and unstable than it was even ten years ago. This paper attempts, through the case studies of a group of ten higher education applicants, to develop a preliminary theoretical analysis of the processes of contemporary higher education choice which works both with the growing diversity of the client group and the continuing inequalities in access. It is argued that intersections of gender, ‘race’ and social class are key to understanding students’ experiences of higher education choice. Higher education policy, in widening access, could be seen to be promoting social justice. However, it is argued that the experience of these ten students points to a more complex, less optimistic conclusion.
