| Summary: | "This book highlights the effects of power within the hight educational process, and argues that in order to understand the student experience we have to take seriously the institution as a context for learning." "Higher Education has its own particular culture, social relations and practices, governed by social and discursive norms. It is always implicated in relations of power through its function in society and its effects on individuals. This book considers how, for the student, these effects can be enabling and engaging, or limiting and diminishing." "In exploring the effects of the institutionalization of learning and the workings of power implicated within this, it sets out to add to more cognitive and pedagogic ways of understanding student experience in higher education."--BOOK JACKET.
