Impact of extended families on participation in Higher Education.
Impact of extended families on participation in Higher Education.
Parental involvement has been widely investigated, however, little is known about the role of extended family members in student participation (including access and progression) in Higher Education (HE). In the context of the increasing pressure on the UK social welfare and HE budgets, the role played by extended family members is important, though unlike traditional nuclear family arrangements, they have been largely absent from the public debate and scholarship. This paper reviews both theoretical and empirical literature on the influence of extended family members in the context of progression to, and participation in HE. A review of the main theoretical underpinnings of the literature on social support is provided followed by a discussion on the understanding of social support as a cultural practice. The paper concludes by summarising key findings and discussing the implications for future research.

Abstract
Parental involvement has been widely investigated, however, little is known about the role of extended family members in student participation (including access and progression) in Higher Education (HE). In the context of the increasing pressure on the UK social welfare and HE budgets, the role played by extended family members is important, though unlike traditional nuclear family arrangements, they have been largely absent from the public debate and scholarship. This paper reviews both theoretical and empirical literature on the influence of extended family members in the context of progression to, and participation in HE. A review of the main theoretical underpinnings of the literature on social support is provided followed by a discussion on the understanding of social support as a cultural practice. The paper concludes by summarising key findings and discussing the implications for future research.
