Gypsy, Traveller and Roma students in UK higher education: an ethic of engagement through the student lifecycle

Emily Danvers and Natalie Forster

Chapter 18 in Research Handbook on Student Engagement in Higher Education, 2024, pp 255-270 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Gypsy, Traveller, Roma, Showman and Boater students (GTRSB) are marginalised in and by UK higher education, being both numerically and, as this chapter will explore, culturally and epistemologically absent from, or silenced within the academy. Drawing on collective professional practice and research experiences across two higher education institutions in the UK, we advocate for a nuanced, iterative and responsive approach to engagement, which recognises the complex, diverse and intersectional identities and preferences of GTRSB students. The chapter is mapped across the student lifecycle of outreach, institutional experiences and post-graduation and, through these moments, we reflect on a re-imagined ‘ethic’ for engagement that invites a radical re-imagining of university environments which are welcoming and engaging for all.
