This paper explores how middle-class mothers' involvement in and how the meanings of a public school choice are shaped by the class differences in cultural capital and economic capital between the mother and father within one family.

Johnson, Rebecca Page – Urban Review: Issues and Ideas in Public Education, 2021
"Meredith v. Jefferson County/Parents Involved v. Seattle" ruled that K-12 public-school districts could no longer use the race of an individual student for placement in schools, which resulted in districts adopting new "race-neutral" assignment plans. This qualitative research study on school assignment and school choice…

Rachel Louise Stenhouse; Nicola Ingram – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2024
In this article we make an argument for the importance of embodied cultural capital in the generation of class advantage through private school students' access to Oxbridge.

Eileen G. C. Kristiansen – ProQuest LLC, 2022
There is a growing concern in this country that the middle class is disappearing and not in the way one would hope. Instead of families moving into a higher socio-economic class and being able to provide richer life experiences for themselves and their children, vast numbers are shifting to a lower socio-economic status level. The gap between the…

Recent research on advanced theory of mind (ToM) has questioned the extent to which existing ToM measures capture a single construct, particularly for groups understudied in developmental research.

Liu, Ruo-Fan – International Studies in Sociology of Education, 2022

Drawing upon 26 Taiwanese student interviews, this study unveils how students strategically use available information to illuminate each step of the admission process. I…

Li, Jin Hui – Nordic Journal of Studies in Educational Policy, 2021
In recent years, the Danish education context has seen an increased concern about underperforming students with migratory histories (particularly students perceived as non-Western descendants) in the political and pedagogical discourses. There seem to be some historical tensions between the societal expectation of class mobility through education…

Roberts, Paul – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2021
The interaction between doctoral education and social class is under-researched, yet is perceived to play an important part in securing social mobility. Research that does exist tends to focus on issues of access or transition, rather than considering experiences during the doctorate. This article focuses on doctoral students' experiences of…

Research suggests that the 'international capital' offered by language enrichment programs has become appropriated primarily by middle- and upper-class families investing in new forms of educational distinction. However, little…
