Pierre Bourdieu and the tyranny of the market

Using Bourdieu to explore educational inequalities in Croatian higher education
“What does it mean to use a Bourdieuan conceptual lens to explore students' higher education choices and experiences? What are the methodological implications of working with his concepts of cultural capital, field and habitus? What does it mean to exercise epistemological vigilance in a Bourdieuan sense? The presentation will touch upon these questions in order to raise and prolematise some of the issues that need addressing when working with Bourdieu's framework; in this particular case relating to an understanding of higher education participation issues in a Croatian context.”
