We are thrilled to introduce Gendering the Massification Generation - Higher Education Access and Choice in India, the latest publication co-authored by Dr Emily F. Henderson, Reader in Gender and International Higher Education at the University of Warwick and the research team who worked on the ‘Fair Chance for Education’ project. The book’s co-authors are Dr N Sabharwal, Dr A Thomas, Dr J Mansuy, Prof A Stewart, Dr S Rathee and Dr R Yadav.

Published by Routledge in the ‘Focus’ imprint, Gendering the Massification Generation examines why young people from the same families and communities in India experience different decision-making processes regarding higher education access because of their gender.

In India and other contexts where higher education is massifying, and gender parity of enrolment has been reached at undergraduate level, there are still many questions to be asked about gender and access to higher education.

Based on the five-year study of gendered higher education access and choice within the state of Haryana, India, and focusing in particular on Phase 1 (see the Phase 1 report), the authors explore gender inequalities of higher education access and choice in the Indian context and connect this with the broader international phenomenon of widening participation.

The book is targeted at an audience of scholars, students and policy makers working on higher education, as well as researchers and NGOs specialising in gender, school-to-higher education transitions, international development, sociology and area studies.

Gendering the Massification Generation is now available via Routledge and can be ordered at:
