This article presents a general portrayal of academic performance among rural boys and girls. The findings depict a general pattern of parents’ investment: parents are more likely to invest in their daughters than sons, and fathers have a higher educational expectation of daughters. The influence of sibling numbers and ‘having a brother(s) or not’ on parents’ educational expectations and investment is similar for rural boys and girls. Fathers’ educational expectations are mainly based on the academic performance of their children (meritocracy) while mothers’ are more closely related to children’s gender. Son preference as a cultural characteristic remains influential in rural regions, although it is not as powerful as before and a trend towards egalitarianism is emerging.Keywords: Genderrural girlseducational aspirationsacademic achievementparental investmentChina Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 The reason that most children in this study have siblings because one child policy was implemented differently in the urban and rural settings. In urban China, the policy was more strictly enforced, while in rural China, the policy has been revised since mid-1980s.

However, who borrows and what motivates students and parents to borrow remain unclear. A longitudinal survey tracked parents and students from high school into their early career to explore the effects of socioeconomic background and attitudes towards HE on taking out student loans in Japan. The findings reveal that, first, families’ economic circumstances are negatively associated with taking out student loans. Second, students, especially those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, may choose a two-year rather than four-year institution to reduce debt. Third, students and their mothers differ in their motivations for borrowing: students’ perceived risk of failing to graduate discourages them from borrowing money, whereas mothers attach more importance to the cost–benefit of student loans. These results have policy implications for alleviating debt burden and promoting equal access to HE.","PeriodicalId":48085,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Sociology of Education","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135462000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It argues that the normative aims are embedded in the fabrics of the sociological description with which the Durkheimian notion of ‘elementary form’ is concerned. To see where this enterprise can lead, this paper turns to the sociology of education of Bourdieu and Bernstein. Both draw on Durkheim’s writings on primitive classifications in education and society, working towards uncovering the regularities of the world of knowledge classifications. Keeping in line with Bourdieu and Bernstein, this paper argues that one has to make the same refusal to the advocates of an abstract ideal of educational knowledge that is dissociated from its social conditions of historical realization in pedagogic contexts, and to the advocates of a cynical relativism of ideal that rejects any necessities socially established.Keywords: Basil BernsteinPierre BourdieuEmile Durkheimidealpowerful knowledgeknowledge of the powerful AcknowledgementThis paper is primarily based on my Ph.D. thesis which looks at Bernstein’s sociology of ‘boundary’ and its theoretical relationship to Durkheimian tradition.

Social mechanisms are not the product of Machiavellian intention. They are much more intelligent than the most intelligent of the dominant agents’ (Bourdieu Citation1993, 71).2 It was not until the end of the Middle Ages that intellectuals and academics shifted from ‘intellectual workers’ in the working world, to ‘hereditary aristocracies’ integrated into privileged groups (Le Goff Citation1993, 61, 124). Against this background, a significant evolution occurred: ‘knowledge became a possession and a treasure, an instrument of power and no longer a disinterested end in itself’ (126).3 ‘[P]edagogic work is that much closer to explicit pedagogy to the extent that it resorts to a greater degree of verbalization and classificatory conceptualization’ (Bourdieu and Passerson 1977, 48–9)Additional informationFundingThe funding for this study was provided by National Project for Education Sciences Planning (Project No.: EAA230469), Ministry of Education, China.","PeriodicalId":48085,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Sociology of Education","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135462002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the experience of immigrant women from the former Soviet Union (FSU) in Israeli academia has not been examined. These women are mostly from a generation known as the ‘1.5 generation’ who immigrated to Israel as children. This study focuses on the intersection of immigration and gender that shape the lives and careers of the 1.5 generation women currently employed as senior academics in Israel. Using the theoretical framework of capital, Bourdieu’s concepts of cultural and social capital, as well as Borjas’ ethnic capital, we analyzed twenty in-depth interviews to examine the perception of these women, their life story, and their professional integration into Israeli academia. We identified two focal points that fostered their success – (1) the Soviet heritage- selective adoption of ethnic capital, encompassing cultural and social capital of an ethnic group and (2) role models within and outside the family often based on ethnicity. We discuss the obstacles faced by minorities in attempting integration into selective professional guilds.Keywords: ethnic capitalminoritiesacademiaimmigration AcknowledgementsWe would like to extend our deepest gratitude to all participants of this study.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":48085,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Sociology of Education","volume":"163 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135884724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From the perspectives of gendered parenting and relational sociology, this study draws on qualitative data from 134 parents in 81 urban Chinese families to reveal their conjugal disagreements, negotiation and coping tactics in enrolling their children in extracurricular activities. The findings indicate that selecting and managing extracurricular activities for children is an ongoing process marked by constant conjugal negotiation, the relational agency of multiple family members and various coping tactics within the family. These findings enrich the literature by highlighting the complexity of middle-class parenting in negotiating children’s extracurricular educational resources and shed new light on the relational and contested processes of gendered parenting and making familial decisions about children’s education.","PeriodicalId":48085,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Sociology of Education","volume":"127 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135995324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
