In recent decades, sociological research has investigated the
nature of the school institution and its uneven effects on the
progress of families, societies, and the global community. Yet,
relatively little comparative research on schooling has dealt in a
serious way with links between schooling and the other major
contexts of childhood: families and communities. This edition of
Research in the Sociology of Education speaks to the diverse
contexts in which children function around the world, and to how
these contexts shape school experiences and outcomes. The editions
authors are international and interdisciplinary. They offer a
pastiche of perspectives on a single topic: how the non-school
contexts of childhood interact with the school institution to
advance modern and not-so-modern forms of virtue, merit, and
attainment, in cultural context.
Research in the Sociology of Education is now available online at
ScienceDirect full-text online of volumes 14 onwards.
