| Publisher Description: Education Research with Bourdieu demonstrates how education research can be conceived, designed, conducted and analyzed from within a Bourdieuian methodology and what this might mean for the researcher in a reflexive sense. Rawolle highlights the potential of Bourdieu's theories for the analysis of unequal distributions of resources and asymmetries of power within education with a particular focus on the concepts of habitus, practice, field and capital. The author provides case studies from existing research into education policy, educational governance, comparative education and sociology of education and, building on this work, develop new approaches for researching the mediatization of education policy, governance in higher education and the flow of ideas between global and national fields. Dealing with complex theories in an accessible way this book will be essential reading for new and established education researchers who are using Bourdieu's theories for the first time. |
