Resignation of habitus
This paper presents the original theoretical concept of resigned habitus to explore how working-class students in DEIS (Delivering Equality of Opportunity in Schools) designated disadvantaged primary schools in Ireland navigate an educational system that privileges middle-class norms. Drawing on Bourdieu’s theoretical concepts, the research investigates how systemic school practices influence students to suppress their identities to achieve habit…
The contemporary contradictions of belonging in higher education
Educational transitions have way-markers and objective milestones as students enter, move through and exit institutional spaces within a normative timeframe. Increasingly, however, scholarship has illuminated the affective dimensions of transition that are less inclined towards measurement, but which nevertheless shape experiences and outcomes. Within these framings, transitions are tied to notions of both success and feelings of belonging, which…
Beyond access
In South Africa, children of single-headed households (70% of whom are Black) have significantly worse educational outcomes than any other demographic. While the impact of family structures has been scrutinised in pre-18 education, it remains understudied concerning access and success in Higher Education. Based on semi-structured interviews with students and alumni raised in single-headed households, this article explores the interplay of family …
Private school entry to Oxbridge
In this article we make an argument for the importance of embodied cultural capital in the generation of class advantage through private school students' access to Oxbridge.Private schools in England continue to reproduce advantage (Variyan 2019), however, establishing exactly how students are advantaged through private schooling is not straightforward.Previous studies of educational advantage have drawn on the broad concept of cultural capital (…
I Cannot Fall Pregnant!”
Girls from single-parent households in South Africa (90 percent of whom are Black African or coloured) have significantly lower educational outcomes than other demographics. Through a methodology of life-history interviews, we explore the experiences of 30 women in single-headed households who have been successful in their educational endeavours as university students or graduates. Results show that pressures on girls from single-headed household…
Talking the Talk of Social Mobility
Since 2010, the language of social mobility has been increasingly utilised by UK politicians from across the political spectrum to denote a commitment to 'fair access' to opportunity in both education and the professions. Within this policy discourse, the default understanding of inequality is premised on a narrow notion of access to elite education and employment positions, where a deeper understanding of the politics of social reproduction and …
Beyond Versailles
French historians will perhaps be surprised that this book is being reviewed in French History. It does not, strictly speaking, speak to French history at all. Rather, it is an excellent examination, as its subtitle puts it, of the topics of ‘sovereignty, legitimacy, and the formation of new polities after the Great War’. The essays contained in Beyond Versailles range widely, from an examination of the fundamental question of plebiscites, to Aus…

Higher education and aspiration
This special issue highlights the rise and significance of aspirations in educational policy globally, yet provides an important sociological critique of the discourses surrounding the concept and its effects. The seductiveness of the very idea of aspiration obfuscates its darker side, which is the promotion of a discourse that locates educational success and failure in an individual’s (in)capacity to imagine a suitable future, and in their motiv…
Conan Fischer. A Vision of Europe
With the one hundredth anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Versailles (June 28, 1919), historians have lined up to have their say on what went wrong in post–World War I Europe. Two rather entrenched narratives usually parse the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. On the one hand, the conference is lauded for creating a world system in the League of Nations, which was ultimately betrayed and hobbled by the depredations of the dictators in the …
Talent-spotting' or 'social magic'? Inequality, cultural sorting and constructions of the ideal graduate in elite professions
Graduate outcomes - including rates of employment and earnings - are marked by persistent inequalities related to social class, as well as gender, ethnicity and institution. Despite national policy agendas related to social mobility and 'fair access to the professions', high-status occupations are disproportionately composed of those from socially privileged backgrounds, and evidence suggests that in recent decades many professions have become le…

The Crucible of War
Nineteen sixteen was the midpoint of the Great War. The bloodbath of the war of attrition reached its apogee in the Battles of Verdun and the Somme. The Ligue des Droits de l'Homme (LDH) held its first wartime congress in November 1916 with this as a backdrop. The theme of the congress was the “conditions for a lasting peace.” Two issues came to the fore. The first was France's relationship with its autocratic, undemocratic ally, imperial Russia,…
Rene Cassin and Human Rights
This is without doubt the most thorough and scholarly treatment of the life and political engagement of René Cassin (1887–1976), winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1968 and one of the architects of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It is informed by a deep understanding of French history that only two historians of the stature of Antoine Prost and Jay Winter could provide. Prost and Winter take us through the long life and…
Class matters in the interview setting? Positionality, situatedness and class
In this article we argue that despite methodological and analytical advancements in the field of social class research, these developments have not led to a wholehearted discussion about class positionality and situatedness in relation to interviewer–participant dynamics. Despite—or perhaps due to—this methodological gap, there remains an unspoken expectation that class matching, particularly when investigating working‐class groups and practices,…
Well-founded social fictions
This article engages with Atkinson’s recent criticisms of concepts of collective habitus, such as ‘institutional’ and ‘familial’ habitus, in order to defend their conceptual utility and theoretical coherence. In so doing we promote a flexible understanding of habitus as both an individual and a collective concept. By retaining this flexibility (which we argue is in keeping with the spirit of Bourdieuian philosophy) we allow for a consideration of…
Higher education, social class and the mobilisation of capitals
Strategies employed by middle-class families to ensure successful educational outcomes for their children have long been the focus of theoretical and empirical analysis in the United Kingdom and beyond. In austerity England, the issue of middle-class social reproduction through higher education increases in saliency, and students' awareness of how to 'play the game' of enhancing their chances to acquire a sought-after graduate position becomes in…
The Chameleon Habitus
This study utilises an innovative creative method of plasticine modelling to explore the identities of local students (those who live in their family home) at the University of Bristol and the University of the West of England. Students created models representing their identity, which were used as a springboard for in-depth discussion. Through drawing upon Bourdieusian theory this article attempts to shed new sociological light on the subject of…
White middle class identities and urban schooling
Within School and Beyond the Gate
Much educational research on working-class boys has focused on their failure and lack of aspiration. However, there has been little research on working-class boys' experiences of success. The very idea of being educationally successful and working class is problematic, as success has been argued to be dependent on the abandonment of aspects of working-class background. This article highlights the difficulties that some working-class grammar schoo…
Working‐class boys, educational success and the misrecognition of working‐class culture
This article contributes to the theory of institutional habitus by exploring the differing ways in which the institutional habitus of two schools in Belfast, Northern Ireland mediates the local habitus of working‐class boys. All of the boys in this qualitative case study live in the same disadvantaged working‐class community but attend two different schools, depending on whether they succeeded or failed in an examination at the age of 11 years. I…
Selbstmord or Euthanasia? Who killed the Ligue des droits de l'homme
The Ligue des droits de l'homme (LDH) carried enormous moral authority in the political culture of the Third Republic; its importance to French political history in the period of the two world wars can hardly be overemphasized. Strangely, though, until very recently, it has suffered from an almost total neglect from French historians. The cloud of oubli has begun to lift. In its place, however, a new orthodoxy seems set to establish itself, one w…

The Politics of Dissent
This book examines the history of pacifism in inter-war France. The author sets out to define the contours of the French peace movement, to explore its organization, tactics, and intellectual content, and to place it in the broader context of French political culture in the years between the two world wars. The book traces the development of French pacifism from its 19th-century roots. It analyses the intertwining of three strands of dissent: ove…
The Circulaire Chautemps, 1933
The dearth of writing on the French peace movement of this century is a remarkable phenomenon, all the more so because during the interwar period one of Europe's most renowned pacifists was a Frenchman-Romain Rolland.' Until very recently French historiography has exhibited a curious allergy to the notion that France, like most other European nations of the years between the world wars, experienced its own indigenous variation on the common inter…

Repressed Memory Syndrome
One of the cardinal features of what I have called pacifisme nouveau style, which emerged in France at the end of the 1920s, was the attempt by pacifist intellectuals to redefine the French past. This ‘historical dissent’ was one of the bases of the new pacifism. It sought to read into French history a pacifist element which had (and has) been largely forgotten by a posterity defined largely by Jacobin nationalism. French pacifist intellectuals, …
