One of themes that we have been exploring in the project is whether students are seen as significant ‘political actors’. In this article, just published in the British Educational Research Journal, we examine the extent to which policymakers, higher education staff and students themselves understand students in this way, and explore both similarities and differences across our six countries. It is published open access so you can download it free of charge.

It’s called ‘Asserting the nation: the dominance of national narratives in policymakers’ constructions of higher education students’ and you can read it here.
