Dr Teresa Bruen - Lecturer at the Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, in the Department of Nursing, Health Care and Social Science
Worldwide access to higher education is still a privilege. The authors of this new book will be talking about their work and research that led to this unique volume. This book recounts the experiences of students from two rural provinces - one in Pakistan, one in the Republic of Ireland - who have struggled to undertake graduate studies. Seeking to understand why some are able to persevere with studies against enormous odds, the authors draw on Bourdieu's theories of social and cultural capital, habitus, field and symbolic violence to analyse the students' very personal narratives. Come and find out about this vital research and stories of higher education from East and West.
There will be book sales and signing after the talk
