This book critically explores the role of state schooling in the
reproduction of social class inequalities in the UK. By uniquely
combining critical ethnographic methods with participatory and
visual research, it foregrounds the experiences and recollections
of working class adults in relation to their past schooling.
Drawing upon her own lived experiences, Jones theorises the
experiences of her participants using an analysis of Marxist,
Bourdieusian and Freirean frameworks to uncover relations of power
and illustrate how schooling has reduced individual agency and
sustained lived inequalities. By creating space for a Visual
Intervention within Critical Ethnography (VICE) alongside her
analysis of class and society, Jones successfully illuminates that
working class struggles are not permanent, and that agency can be
activated. The book also addresses an important need by centring
research from the lived educational experiences of the working
class, and, in particular, working class adults. Making a unique
theoretical and methodological contribution using an innovative
combined methodology approach, the text ultimately highlights the
potential of empowering disadvantaged individuals by raising
critical consciousness. Though it is focused on the experiences of
adults, this book has important understandings for all sectors of
education and will be of interest to academics, researchers and
students interested in the sociology of education, research methods
in education, social inequality, social class and education
politics.
