Associate Professor Tim Pitman is a researcher of higher education policy at Curtin University. His research has a focus on widening access and participation for groups of students historically under-represented in higher education. This includes persons from low-socio economic backgrounds, Indigenous persons, people with disability, people from non-English speaking backgrounds and people from regional and remote parts of Australia. Tim’s recent research explored how universities might be ranked on measures of equity, in the same way they are ranked on quality. His current research investigates how people with disability in higher education are supported in their studies. His publications include An Australian study of graduate outcomes for disadvantaged students, Constructing a ranking of higher education institutions based on equity: is it possible or desirable?, and Unlocking the gates to the peasants: are policies of ‘fairness’ or ‘inclusion’ more important for equity in higher education?
