项目摘要

As a mechanism for social mobility, Higher Education (HE) has the ability to break intergenerational disadvantage - with widening participation (WP) interventions being essential for the benefit of students from underrepresented groups and wider society. Previously, WP policies were criticised for adopting deficit discourses, limiting critical examination of inequitable HE practices. Legislation dictates parameters, but the construction of Access and Participation Plans (APPs) is relatively autonomous - resulting in a plethora of approaches to WP, as institutional cultures and personal identities influence the implementation of policy. Whilst researchers have explored policy discourse, institutional cultures and personal identities in relation to WP, no studies provide a holistic examination of the interconnectivity of these factors. This qualitative study would draw on documentary evidence from 8-12 universities and semi-structured interviews with 6- 8 staff from each university type. Using Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis and Giddens' notion of self-identity and society, the study would explore the framing of underrepresented student groups within APP guidance and APPs, characterising factors of institutional cultures, and staffs' identities in relation to professional roles. Examining relationships between the full data set will provide novel perspectives that deepen our understanding of the WP landscape.

作为社会流动性的一种机制，高等教育（HE）具有打破代际劣势的能力 - 加强参与（WP）干预措施对于从代表性不足的团体和更广泛的社会的学生受益至关重要。以前，WP政策因采用赤字话语而受到批评，限制了对他做法不平等的批判性检查。立法决定了参数，但是访问和参与计划（APP）的构建相对自动 - 导致了多种WP方法，因为机构文化和个人身份会影响政策的实施。尽管研究人员探讨了与WP有关的政策话语，机构文化和个人身份，但没有研究对这些因素的互连性进行全面检查。这项定性研究将借鉴8-12所大学的记录证据，以及每种大学类型的6-8名员工的半结构化访谈。利用Fairclough的批判性话语分析和Giddens对自我认同和社会的概念，该研究将探索App指导和应用程序中代表性不足的学生团体的框架，表征机构文化的因素以及员工与专业角色有关的身份。检查完整数据集之间的关系将提供新的观点，以加深我们对WP景观的理解。
