In this lecture David Reimer will provide an overview of his research on social inequality in access to higher education. –The lecture will address how the expansion of higher education has affected inequalities in university attendance. The issue of how institutional differentiation – such as for example the creation of new university types (university colleges) has affected university attendance and inequality will also be discussed. Finally, the contours of Reimer’s future research agenda which will focus on the role of contextual factors (such as for example the school climate) at the transition from school to higher education will be presented.

Following the lecture, a reception will take place in room 1253-317 (the same building). All are welcome, but please register here.
