Moving on up? Higher education and student parents

Speaker: Miranda Armstrong

Wednesday 29 September 2021, 4.30pm. Online event

This talk shines a light on the complex experiences of student parents, a less-visible part of university populations. As part of National Inclusion Week, the life-changing journeys of student mothers are focused on in this talk, including that of the speaker, a single mother and student who gained a new career as an academic. The talk highlights the various positive impacts of this under-recognised phenomenon, while problematising the obstacles that threaten it.
