Dang Vu, Hoai Nam – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2022
Obtaining insights on the illicit consumption of endangered wildlife products is challenging, especially when the study objects are the super-rich. This research note draws upon my experience interviewing nearly 1,000 rhino horn consumers in Vietnam. Trust is crucial in such interactions. No interviews could have been conducted without good…

Rabelo, Verónica Caridad; Bonner, Robert L.; Stewart, Oscar Jerome – Journal of Management Education, 2023
The ability to notice and eliminate organizational inequities begins with "privilege awareness": an understanding of how individuals and social groups experience exemption from discrimination as well as access to unearned advantages, such as disproportionate access to resources. Thus, privilege awareness is necessary for noticing,…

Shuning Liu – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2024
This ethnographic data-driven article investigates the urban political economy of a new form of elite schooling, which is represented by the fee-charging international programs recently established by 'key' public high schools in metro China. Grounding the analysis in Harvey's work on urbanization and neoliberalism, the literature on China's…

Agustina Paglayan – Princeton University Press, 2024
Nearly every country today has universal primary education. But why did governments in the West decide to provide education to all children in the first place? In "Raised to Obey," Agustina Paglayan offers an unsettling answer. The introduction of broadly accessible primary education was not mainly a response to industrialization, or…

Lucinda McKnight; Claire Charles; George Variyan – International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), 2024
This article discusses the methodological challenges of researching elite boys' schooling, in a study involving interviewing alumni who attended these schools from the 1970s to the 2020s. In particular, through a feminist poststructuralist methodological framing, it considers the necessity for researcher reflexivity in engaging in research in such…

Alston, Kal – Philosophical Inquiry in Education, 2022
The pandemic made us hold our breath for a return to "normal." But education in "normal" times involves race-based violence and class-based inequality that the pandemic simply made plainer to see. Reviewing the impacts of the pandemic and action for racial justice over the last two years, I show how the dislocation of the…

Sola, Jorge; Diaz-Catalán, Celia; Sádaba, Igor; Romanos, Eduardo; Rendueles, César – Teaching Sociology, 2022
Social inequality is a central theme in sociology study plans (both in research and education), but it is often one of the most difficult topics to teach. This article presents an innovative student-centered strategy for teaching social inequality that uses a survey to collect data on students' socioeconomic characteristics and perceptions of…

Lo, Kevin D. – Journal of Management Education, 2023
With ongoing racial tensions, terms such as antiracism and diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI) are buzzwords on campuses across the United States. Yet resources, especially in management education, to teach privilege and intersectionality are limited. This article introduces four reflection exercises I have found valuable in facilitating students'…

Jackson, Jen – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2022
Early childhood educators with higher qualifications are more likely to demonstrate quality in their practice; but few studies have explored the underlying factors that contribute to this relationship. Drawing on Pierre Bourdieu's theory, this article proposes that the relationship arises from social, as well as educational, inequality. Educators…

Shamash, Rebecca – Berkeley Review of Education, 2018
This article addresses how the elite class in the United States is (re)produced by and through institutions of higher education, especially the most selective institutions. Through a review of critical, interdisciplinary research on socioeconomic inequality, elitism, and higher education, this paper begins with an overview of contemporary economic…

James, Malcolm; Boden, Rebecca; Kenway, Jane – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2022
The sociological literature on elite private schooling is frequently informed by Bourdieu's signature concepts of cultural, social and symbolic capital. Yet, his insistence that economic capital is the 'root' of these other capitals is often overlooked or downplayed. This paper addresses this lacuna. While it gestures to Bourdieu's other capitals,…

Racine, Karen – History of Education, 2020
Spanish American independence leaders acted as both monitors and moralists for their emerging nations. Their adoption of the Lancasterian monitorial school system, along with their efforts to legislate new republican moral codes, revealed the contradictions that led to the failure of so many of that idealistic generation's dreams. They could not…

Alex Dunedin – Prism: Casting New Light on Learning, Theory & Practice, 2018
In this paper psychological research is used to develop a framework in which to place notions of class in terms of relative dehumanisation as ingroups and outgroups to understand how opportunities are afforded to some and not to others, with categorical identities set up on the basis of inclusion or exclusion from cultural production. It draws…

Yoon, Ee-Seul – Educational Policy, 2020
Various sociological perspectives have been applied to facilitate school choice research over the past two decades, as showcased in this "2020 Yearbook of Politics of Education Association." Among them, Pierre Bourdieu's concepts and theories stand out as a catalyst for the field's sociological development. My first objective in this…
