Social class and education Sociology Social class and education

George Orwell (1937) Context to the discussion we’re having today – this is what UK was like for poor – before welfare state https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmDvLY9f82A (from 1m50sec)

Social class inequality

Stop and think… Discuss with people beside you What is social class? What does it measure beyond wealth? What are different classes called? Why do we care about social class?

Defining and categorising social class Problematic: lack of agreement Many classification systems exist

Pierre Bourdieu

Bourdieu’s 3 key types of capital Economic capital: material goods and wealth Cultural capital: a. educational qualifications b. knowledge and understanding of creative and artistic culture (music, art, theatre, film) Social capital: social networks, who you know and who can help you

Bourdieu – field and habitus Habitus - Experience and social position – Embodied – Uncritical Field – Space Doxa – the rules of the game

Bourdieu: education and social class: ‘cultural reproduction theory’ Cultural reproduction theory - education system biased against working class, favours dominant (middle) class culture Fundamental role of education - ‘cultural reproduction’

Strangers in Paradise – Reay et. al., 2009 Working class students in elite universities Bourdieu argues in unfamiliar field the habitus is transformed, ‘a habitus divided against itself’ Paper argues it’s more nuanced – students develop ‘creative adaptations and multi-faceted responses’ (p. 1103)

Stop and think… Shout out – how might class impact on your experiences of higher education?
