Working-class student experiences
Reay's research highlights the challenges that working-class students have in higher education, in particular when accessing and transitioning to and within higher education.[1]
Background
Reay is the daughter of a coal miner and the eldest of eight children. She was raised on a council estate and was given free school meals while a young student. In an interview, she said, "I learned as a small child I had to work at least twice as hard as the middle class children to achieve the same result."[1]
She taught in a London primary school for 20 years before she began work at Cambridge,[1] where she is currently an emeritus professor of sociology of education.[5]
