The book examines employability at the macro, meso and micro levels: higher education policy, the labour market, higher education institutions, organisations, individuals and social groups, in European, North American and Australian contexts. The contributors provide social and contextual analysis of graduate employability as a theoretical concept, a discourse and policy imperative and a social and discursive practice. The volume also introduces novel methodological perspectives to study the process of graduate employability. There is an urgent need for comprehensive and unified critical perspectives on graduate employability, as such analyses have so far been scarce and often isolated. Besides filling this gap in the literature, the book will also serve as essential reading on courses that focus on graduate careers and employability as well as higher education policy and practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.\tIntroduction: Rethinking graduate employability in context, Päivi Siivonen, Ulpukka Isopahkala-Bouret, Michael Tomlinson, Maija Korhonen and Nina Haltia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART 1 Critical perspectives on the theory of employability\u003cbr\u003e2.\tGraduate employability and its basis in possessive individualism, Leonard Holmes\u003cbr\u003e3.\tRelative employability: Applying the insights of positional competition and conflict theories within the current higher education landscape, Ulpukka Isopahkala-Bouret and Gerbrand Tholen\u003cbr\u003e4.\tBoosting employability through fostering an entrepreneurial mindset: Critical analysis of employability and entrepreneurship in EU policy documents, Hanna Laalo , Heikki Kinnari, Heikki Silvennoinen and Nina Haltia\u003cbr\u003e5.\tThe affective life of neoliberal employability discourse, Karen Handley and Jill Millar\u003cbr\u003e6.\tGrounding employability in both agency and collective identity: an emancipatory agenda for higher education, Peter Kahn and Mariangela Lundgren-Resenterra \u003cbr\u003ePART 2 Employability and inequalities in graduate labour markets \u003cbr\u003e7.\tAre graduates working in graduate occupations?
