The French social theorist Pierre Bourdieu was a key thinker about
education and educational processes in the second half of the
twentieth century. He made his name in seminal texts such as "The
Inheritors" and "Reproduction" in which he analysed academic
discourse and showed how differences in cultural capital led to
different outcomes for those who passed through school and
university. His concepts of Habitus and Field have since been used
extensively in educational research. This book begins by setting
his intellectual development within his own biography and then
discusses each of his major works on education in turn: from the
early studies of students and their learning to later analyses of
the French academic space and the elite training colleges. There is
also critical discussion of a range of commentators' views on this
approach. The book concludes with a series of applications of
Bourdieusian thinking on various educational topics: teacher
education, classroom discourse, higher education and policy. No
educational discussion is complete without consideration from a
Bourdieusian perspective. This book shows how and why.
