Event Details

Based on interviews with 36 students who used individual accommodation in Germany, Pascal Angerhausen explores the diversity of the group of students with impairments and identifies the relevance of societal, higher education and individual contexts for their experiences of exclusion and inclusion.

The analysis demonstrates that current inclusion measures only provide for the inclusion of a limited group of students with impairments, prompting the question of how genuine inclusion in higher education can be achieved.

This event is part of the Educational Research Seminar Series.

Seminar presenter

Pascal Angerhausen is a research assistant at the University of Hildesheim and doctoral candidate at the International Center for Higher Education Research (INCHER) at the University of Kassel, Germany. His research focusses on experiences of exclusion and inclusion in German higher education.
