About this title

Synopsis

Originally published in 1990, this title offers a range of perspectives from practitioners, administrators and researchers, examining personal experiences of disaffection in students and staff within the context of national political, social, and economic change. The transitions include moves into employment, training of continued education.

Expressions of unease and disquiet are set clearly within the political context of marginalized status for minority groups, highlighting issues relating to disability, gender, class and race, in which the process of transition has been impeded through discriminating practices. The book includes reflections from practitioners, offering coping strategies and flexible approaches, and responses from administrators indicating their awareness of the need to support practitioners during the process of change.
