Title | ‘What we came through to get here’: the educational experiences of Somali women graduates in London |
Authors | Spawls, N. |
Abstract | This study examines the educational experiences of British–Somali women graduates in London. By using an intersectional feminist approach and applying theories of social and cultural capital, the research examines how the participants experienced their education: the challenges encountered; the resources and strategies that enabled their achievements; and how they navigated and framed their identities through their experiences. The research aims to present a counter-discourse to the focus of early education studies of the 2000s that saw Somali pupils as an underachieving population. |
