Hi. I am discussing (in)visibility within Further Education. I am primarily looking at the invisibility of LGBT students, but am examining their invisibility within the realms of the invisibility of FE as a whole. How do we make the invisible visible? All suggestions as to where to find previous research will be welcomed.
Hi The only thing that I found is: The Adult Learning Sector in Ireland – Responding to Recession
amazing question, like to follow the developments and findings,
was wondering if you are within a critical pedagogy framework or not.
venuti has worked on this issue , in the realm of translation nonetheless.
Hi Carrie,
If you're still looking for papers about invisible populations in the Further Education sector then you may be interested in the following:
Venville, Annie, Street, Annette, & Fossey, Ellie. 2013. Smoke and Mirrors: Recruiting Hidden Populations in VET. Creative Approaches to Research, vol. 6. no.2, pp. 45–56.
Abstract:
Purpose
This paper explores some of the challenges recently encountered in the recruitment of vocational education and training (VET) students with a diagnosed mental illness.
Design/Methodology/Approach
Twenty students with mental illness, from four VET Institutes in two states of Australia, participated in a qualitative case study investigating factors affecting successful course completion.
Findings
Access to students was dependent upon key contacts in each research site and although difficulty in recruitment was anticipated, unexpected opposition to student recruitment strategies came from some of the specialist staff employed to assist students with disabilities. Staff portrayed opposition to recruitment strategies as means of ensuring harm minimisation to students with mental illness. This paper argues that such protective gate keeping behaviours could equally be constructed as deliberately paternalistic and, at best, unintentionally stigmatising.

Hi Carrie.
I hope you have made progress. If you have finished your project perhaps I could read it.
If not is there a specific aspect you are interested in as it is a rather broad subject.
I will assist with same if possible.
