This book examines the nature of age as an aspect of social
identity and its relationship to experiences of formal education.
Providing a new and critical approach to debates about age and
social identity, the author explores why age remains such an
important aspect of self-making in contemporary society. Through an
ethnographic account of a secondary school in the south-east of
England, the author poses three principal questions. Why are
schools in English organised according to age? How do pupils and
teachers learn to 'act their age' while at school? Ultimately, why
does age remain such an important and complex organising concept
for modern society? Cutting across lines of class and gender, this
timely book will be of interest to students and scholars of
self-making and identity in educational contexts, and others
interested in how schooling socialises young people into categories
of age as the foundational building blocks of modern society.
