HENDERSON, Holly, STEVENSON, Jacqueline and BATHMAKER, Ann-Marie (2018). Possible selves and higher education : new interdisciplinary insights. Research into Higher Education . London, CRC Press.
Abstract
Drawing together example studies from international contexts, this edited collection provides a new and cross-disciplinary perspective on the concept of the possible self, exploring its theoretical, methodological and empirical uses with regards to Higher Education. Building on research which examines the ways in which possible selves are constructed through inequalities of class, race and gender, the book interrogates the role of imagined futures in student, professional and academic lives, augmenting the concept of possible selves, with its origins in psychology, with sociological approaches to educational inequalities and exclusionary practices.
