Diane Reay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Diane Reay is a sociologist and academic, and emeritus professor of education at the University of Cambridge.[1][2][3] She is noted for her study about educational inequalities among students in state schools in the United Kingdom.[1] She has maintained that there is a tendency to misuse the school selection practice to transform social class differences into education.[4] She has criticised the Oxbridge application process as "institutionally racist".[5]
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]
