Abstract |
The
research will investigate the impact of multiple policy innovation
in higher education on the participation and experiences of disabled
students with a range of impairments. We plan to examine the effects
on disabled students of policies affecting the system as a whole,
in particular marketisation, managerialism, wider access and innovations
in teaching and learning, and policies aimed particularly at provision
for disabled students. Developments in Scotland and England and in
different types of institution will be compared. Both quantitative
and qualitative methods will be used. |
