      abstract = {This book examines how sole parents are constituted within  university contexts, through social discourse and social  policies. The gendered assumptions of female parental  care-work are analysed as both constraining and enabling  sole parent participation in higher education. Social  welfare policies and the policies of university  institutions are also considered as central to the  experiences of sole parents who study at universities. This  book explores the sense of belonging and engagement for  sole parents in higher education with a view to challenging  how universities engage with under-represented and diverse  students. Equitable access to higher education is important  as a potentially transformative personal and social good  and this book contributes new thinking to understanding why  a university education remains elusive for many students.},
