Specially selected by Diane Reay, this is a collection of
innovative and thought-provoking recently published papers that
'use' Bourdieu to put theory into practice in order to understand
and analyse educational problems. Bourdieu's work is renowned for
its focus on inequalities and its centering of social justice. The
contributions utilise a wide range of diverse concepts in
Bourdieu's theoretical 'tool-kit', and address educational
inequalities across different aspects of the educational system -
from higher education and parental choice of schooling, to
teachers' professional development and the PE classroom.
Illuminating key aspects of Bourdieu's scholarship, they reveal how
good Bourdieu is 'for thinking with'; illustrate the merits of
reflexivity, the move beyond binary ways of reading the social
world; and demonstrate the significance of power in any analysis of
education. The chapters in this book were all originally published
as articles in Taylor and Francis journals.
