Abstract

This handbook was developed in collaboration with Gypsy, Roma, Showmen, and Traveller students, former students, and university staff as a resource to facilitate reflection amongst university senior management, and university staff on how they support GTRSB students in accessing higher education through outreach and other initiatives and how support and mentoring offered, during their time at university, can be strengthened. Furthermore, it offers a space for university staff to be reflexive about how they represent GTRSB students in the curriculum and knowledge production as well as in university policy including anti-racist policies, and initiatives which focus on Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI), awarding gaps and de-colonialising the curriculum. This brief resource is, therefore, offered as a starting point for further reflection and discussion rather than an end point.

Chapter 2 by Clark offers some context by focusing on housing, health, and education in relation to policy and practice that both promote social inclusion and reduce social exclusion. Chapter 3 by McDonagh gives an overview of higher education experiences of GTRSB students. Chapter 4, by Greenfields, Holmes & Price offers some suggestions on how university professional services and administration staff can support GTRSB students whilst at university. Chapter 5, by Marsh, Hulmes, & Peacock, continues by exploring the inclusive curriculum and offers some suggestions to lecturers on how GTRSB communities can be represented in a positive way in the curriculum challenging deficit stereotypes. Chapter 6, by Morgan and Stubbs, relates to higher education strategy, policy, and equality initiatives. This is followed by resources including an aide memoire, to support reflection and reflexivity and links to organisations and further readings.
