Outline
This session examined some of the key pre-occupations of policy makers, higher education institutions, academics and academic developers within the inclusivity agenda. Dr Walton introduced a number of critical perspectives, including critical pedagogy and critical race theory (CRT), to provide frameworks that might be used to offer analyses of, and explanation for, the persistence of attainment gaps between a variety of student groups, and the relative failures of diversity interventions to address these gaps.
