This session invites papers that explore narratives of educational social mobility of indigenous people focusing on different obstacles, challenges and as well advantages and resistance they have to face before, during and after university. Possible topics include but not limited to choice of higher education institution and field of study; strategies to negotiate class and ethnic identities; strategies to negotiate gender relations. We welcome submissions that employ subjective perspective of social mobility as well intersectionality and postcoloniality approach. Both empirical and theoretical explorations are of interest.
