Více o knize

Focusing on the experiences of working-class individuals in higher education, the book explores the factors that contribute to their success against the odds. By comparing social contexts and educational policies in Austria and England, it reveals unexpected similarities in the pathways to achievement. Utilizing Bourdieu's concept of habitus, the analysis sheds light on the interplay between personal circumstances and institutional frameworks that support or hinder access to higher education for marginalized groups.
