Bøker av Dr Carol Fuller

Using data from an ethnographic case study of a low-achieving girls school, the author explores aspirations and argues that whilst class is very powerful in explaining educational attainment, understanding educational aspirations is somewhat more complex.

Helps develop an overall understanding as to why some students achieve where others don't. This book questions and challenges popular assumptions surrounding class-based theory in making sense of girls, aspirations and to question the usefulness of the over reliance of such broad categorisations by both academics and policy makers.
