Solidarity and Chance
As in many other countries, bingo in Italy occupies a peculiar status: it exists in a gray area between the image of pathological gambling and a harmless pastime for the elderly. This marginal position within public gambling offers an opportunity to study the phenomenon beyond the pathological narrative. Through a team ethnography conducted in a bingo hall in Milan, we explored how practices of chance-taking intertwine with social dynamics of sol…
Storia di Amina. La transizione all'università di una ragazza con background migratorio
A partire dalla prospettiva degli studi sulle disuguaglianze nell'istruzione terziaria (Bathmaker et al., 2016), questo contributo mobilita gli attrezzi concettuali che provengono in parte dall'opera di Pierre Bourdieu (Bourdieu e Passeron, 1970), in parte dalla prospettiva dell'intersezionalità (Crenshaw, 1989), per indagare il vissuto soggettivo di una studentessa con background migratorio, Amina, con un duplice obiettivo: 1) quello di illustra…
First-Generation Students in the post-pandemic university
This special issue, titled ‘First-Generation Students in the post-pandemic university: Centring students’ experiences in moving towards a more inclusive higher education’, brings together eight research articles that shed light on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on student equity. By taking a holistic view on First-Generation Students’ journeys into and through higher education, and by valuing their experiences in different institutional and …
‘A little one among giants’
Research on first-generation students (FGS) has grown in recent decades and has provided an insightful ‘new zone of looking’ to address inequalities in Europe and beyond. Drawing on a qualitative longitudinal study conducted in Italy, this paper explores how a group of FGS lived, experienced and crafted their transition from school to university. By focusing particularly on FGS with less conventional secondary school pathways (i.e. who came from …
Environmentality in (food) sustainability education
This article applies a governmentality perspective to approach education for sustainability. First, we outline governmentality through a Foucauldian lens and consider the emergence of environmentality in Italian education. Next, we analyse education for sustainability teaching and learning dynamics. Focusing on a pedagogic intervention carried out in a hotel-management vocational high school, we explore how school programming, classroom interacti…
How working-class students choose higher education. The role of family, social networks and the institutional habitus of secondary schools
Based on a qualitative study of school-to-university transition focused on working-class first-generation university students, the aim of this paper is twofold. First, it illustrates the multiple intertwining dimensions of the process of moving from school to university within an ‘open-door’ admission policy context such as the Italian one. Second, it emphasizes the role of students’ social networks and secondary school institutional habitus in d…
Why do students leave university? Qualitative research at an Italian higher education institution
In this article, we discuss the results of qualitative research carried out at an Italian university for shedding light on the transition students undergo on entry to university, and for understanding associated difficulties that lead to student drop out. We use Vincent Tinto's and Pierre Bourdieu's theoretical apparatuses for analysing drop out in higher education as a process in which inequalities are expressed and reproduced. The intertwined s…
Governing through guidance
Current social policy discourse defines educational and career guidance as a key tool to enhance individual self-realisation while pursuing collective social objectives (economic growth, reduction of drop-out rate, social inclusion). Relying on Foucault’s concept of governmentality, critical research has long destabilised this mainstream narrative by stressing that guidance polices constitute a technology of government through which the political…
Teachers’ guidance, family participation and track choice
In Italy, as in other European countries, students of foreign origin are over-represented in the vocational school tracks, with relevant consequences on their limited chances of attaining a university degree. While research has long underlined the weight that a family’s social, cultural and economic capital has on a child’s school performance, educational expectations and choices, the role that school and teachers themselves play in the transitio…
