This book is the first international reference work to showcase the diversity of ways of using Bourdieu’s sociological toolkit in educational research. Written by scholars based in Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Indonesia, Hong Kong, the UK, and the USA, the handbook provides a unique and cutting-edge picture of how Bourdieu has been both used and adapted in educational research globally. The book will be useful for those who may only have a cursory knowledge of Bourdieu’s tools as well as those who are already familiar with Bourdieu’s work. The chapters cover a wide range of topics including educational leadership, teacher preparation, space/place, educational policy, literacy education, marginalised students, and student mobility.

Reviews for The Bloomsbury Handbook of Bourdieu and Educational Research

""This wide-ranging and illuminating handbook recognizes the importance of both the spatial and the temporal in understandings of Bourdieu's work, and combines global perspectives with a focus on the local."" --Diane Reay, Professor of Education, University of Cambridge, UK ""Bourdieu's thinking tools have been widely used to explore educational issues. However, very few books provide a comprehensive resource for introducing Bourdieu in educational research. This volume provides the global academic community with up-to-date knowledge about Bourdieu in educational research. It will help researchers and students to understand Bourdieu and education systematically."" --Dai Kun, Assistant Professor in the Department of Educational Administration and Policy, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong
