Using a Bourdieusian framework, it examines social class and contextual influences on both the structure of students’ networks and the content of interactions within them. These are shown to be dependent on the dispositions and capitals of both the students and the members of those networks. Relying on data from a questionnaire circulated among 1,645 French lycée students, the article shows the existence of significant social class differences in the frequency and nature of students’ interactions about higher education with various types of family members and friends. It also highlights that these differences are subject to contextual variations, with students from the same social background interacting differently with their personal networks (see Table 4) about their higher education plans depending on the school they attend and the track in which they are enrolled.Keywords: Higher education planspersonal networkssocial capitalsocial classFrance Disclosure statementAll human subjects gave their informed consent prior to their participation in the research, and we protect the confidentiality of participants and institutions by excluding any identifying information. We also report no conflict of interest.Notes1 This study is part of a broader research project exploring how networks, institutions and markets influence the ways in which students from different social classes engage with HE (van Zanten Citation2019).2 This platform, now called Parcoursup, underwent significant changes in 2018 after our study. A major difference is that students now no longer rank their choices (Frouillou et al. Citation2019).3 At the most aggregated level, the INSEE Professions and socioprofessional categories nomenclature (whose initial designers both contributed to Bourdieu’s training in statistics and were later influenced by his sociological teaching (Seibel Citation2004)) distinguishes six main categories among the active population: 1-Farmers (Agriculteurs exploitants); 2-Craft workers, retailers and company directors (Artisans, commerçants et chefs d’entreprise); 3- Executives and members of intellectual high-status professions (Cadres et professions intellectuelles supérieures); 4-Intermediate occupations (Professions intermédiaires); 5-Employees (Employés); 6-Blue-collar workers (Ouvriers). It is common in the French sociological literature to equate category 3 with the upper class, 1, 2 and 4 with the middle class, and 5 and 6 with the lower class.4 For this item, we only consider students who stated they had at least one brother or sister.5 The way the survey question was framed means we cannot distinguish which topics students discussed with whom but can only examine which topics received the most attention in interactions with members of their personal network in general.6 Because the vast majority of MC and UC students have two French parents (respect","PeriodicalId":48085,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Sociology of Education","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136097398","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}

After some BPs received state recognition to issue degrees in 2007, their number increased rapidly to almost a hundred BPs by 2015. Based on a literature review, this article offers a work of a theoretical nature: it deploys the neo-Marxist approach to the commons as a theoretical-analytical framework through the experience of the BP movement. This approach denounces the processes of enclosure (commercialization and privatization) of shared material and immaterial resources while also promoting commoning practices as seeds that anticipate an anti-capitalist future in the present.","PeriodicalId":48085,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Sociology of Education","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135347084","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}

One understudied area of research, however, concerns the sociologies of education taught and experienced in teacher education outside of Anglo/European contexts. This paper uses post-/decolonial theory to explore the teaching and learning of sociology of education for pre-service teachers at the University of Zambia. It draws on data from surveys (n = 318) and five focus groups with pre-service teachers (n = 20), a focus group with tutors (n = 3) working on the course, and reflections by course lecturers to examine Zambian pre-service teachers’ experiences and perspectives of sociology. We argue that a sociology of education which includes some elements of the classical canon but is grounded more firmly in sociological perspectives related to local social issues, contexts, and epistemologies may lead to a more informed and inspired cadre of pre-service teachers, and by extension, citizens.","PeriodicalId":48085,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Sociology of Education","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135789678","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}

Drawing on qualitative interviews with 15 coaches operating in professional soccer clubs in high-SES cities in Israel, we identified four key components of the coaches’ role: coaches’ descriptions of the youth and their class’s living spaces; the coaches’ role perception; key values subscribed to by coaches; and students’ future orientation (How does the coach see the youths in adulthood). These findings were discussed in light of their significance and implications for forming and cultivating habitus and elite or privileged identity among high-SES youth-players (the linkage of position and disposition) in informal educational spaces.","PeriodicalId":48085,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Sociology of Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44826112","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}
