Higher Education policy researchers have highlighted the link between merit and privileged social background with respect to who is most likely to win merit-based scholarships in Universities.

This paper examines the relationship between the politics of Higher Education access pertaining to longstanding practices of patrimonial authoritarian politics and the narration of collective trauma. Building on an empirical study of Syrian HE during war, we suggest that a "narrative disjuncture" within HEIs has a damaging impact not…

Schatz, Monika; Popovic, Ana; Dervin, Fred – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2017

Santori, Diego – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2018
This paper aims to extend existing theorisations around the notion of public narratives by analysing their regulatory effects under intensified market conditions.

Apple, Michael W. – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2015
Stuart Hall had a significant impact on critical analyses of rightist mobilizations in education. This is very visible in my own work, for example, in such volumes as "Official Knowledge" (2014) and "Educating the 'Right' Way" (2006). After describing an important series of lectures that Stuart Hall gave at the Havens Center…

Filippakou, Ourania – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2011
The paper suggests that the idea of quality in higher education is ideologically constructed and conducted. In a spiral of mutual reinforcements, quality regimes naturalise experience, while the theories of that practice legitimise the naturalness of "quality". I shall suggest that quality regimes provide too narrow readings of higher education.…

Fisher, Pamela; Fisher, Roy – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2007
This paper contrasts two types of "autodidact" located in the UK in different historical periods, which utilised different learning/research technologies to different ends. From the 1920s to the 1960s some working-class activists committed to the Communist Party of Great Britain became "educated" in Marxism (and more) through…
