Klassresan : En studie om klassresenärers upplevelser
(2005)School of Social Work
- Abstract
- The purpose of this essay was to examine class-travellers experiences of having done the class-travel and when they realised they had done it.
My questions were: when did they start the class-travel? How do they experience themselves after going through the classtravel? How do they change as class-travellers in their relationship with their surroundings?

My conclusions are that the experiences of the class-travel are different. The lass-traveller of this study are recognized of being/have been part of two worlds or cultures. How long the class-traveller has been in one of the worlds is of big importance. Most of the experiences of taking part of two worlds or cultures are positive. Almost everyone agreed that some kind of new experience or travel began when they arrived at the university. All of them have made the class-travel from one class to another from an objective perspective, but their subjective experiences are different from each other. A few claim that this really is a journey of maturity instead of a class-travel. (Less)
