Abstract
This inaugural issue of Access: Critical explorations of equity in higher education, builds on the ground laid by International Studies in Widening Participation, while taking new directions. The journal is increasing its focus on challenging injustices in diverse contexts of worsening inequalities despite years of equity policy in higher education. In foregrounding the concept of ‘access’ we are committed to producing a body of work that both troubles and advances equity commitments. As well as raising significant questions about access to what forms of higher education and for whom, the journal is concerned with wider debates about access, including access to writing and publishing in the field of equity in higher education.
