Partial contents:
Part 1. Advancing Bourdieu's conceptual tools -- Part 2. Using and developing habitus -- Part 3. Using and developing theoretical approaches to capital -- Part 4. Advancing Bourdieu's concepts in the field of education -- Part 5. Bourdieusian perspectives on aspirations and gender -- Part 6. Ethnic inequalities and identities : assessing Bourdieu's tools.
Summary: "International Perspectives on Theorizing Aspirations offers new insights and guidance for those looking to use Bourdieu's tools in an educational context, with a focus on how the tools can be applied to issues of aspiration. Written by contributors from the UK, USA, Australia, Nigeria, Jamaica and Spain, the book explores how Bourdieu's tools have been applied in recent cutting-edge educational research on a range of topics, including widening participation, migration, ethnicity and class. The contributors consider how aspirations are theorized in sociology, as well as exploring the structure/agency debates, before recapitulating Bourdieu's tools and their applicability in educational contexts. A key question running through the chapters is: how does social theory shape research? Including recommended readings, this is essential reading for anyone looking to use Bourdieu in their research and for those studying aspiration in an educational research setting."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
