Gender and Education
Gender and education incorporates the long history of suppression and exclusion of girls, ciswomen, and intersex and transgender people in schools and universities. Since the late 1990s, gender relations have changed within education. However, a closer look reveals that what is commonly referred to as a decrease in male dominance over girls and women in fact reflects a large increase in girls' and ciswomen's participation in education at degree a…
Educational Upward Mobility
What enables the few working-class people who enter higher education to achieve against the odds? This book offers answers by comparing social contexts, educational institutions and policies in Austri
The interrelation of twenty-first-century education and work from a gender perspective
This paper analyses the interrelation of twenty-first-century education and work from a gender perspective. The analysis is carried out theoretically by asking whether human capital theory and Bourdieu’s reproduction theory are adequate instruments for such an endeavour. It is argued that the explanatory power of the human capital concept of the interrelation between education and work is extremely weak, because the human capital concept conceals…

A theoretical concept of educational upward mobility
This paper's topic is the educational upward mobility of members of the working class. It seeks to find out what makes educational success possible and aims to build a theory of educational upward mobility. Data have been collected through biographical-narrative interviews of Austrian graduates from working-class backgrounds. Their narratives have been analysed abductively, by creating hypotheses from observation of empirical phenomena. As a resu…
Bildung und soziale Ungleichheit
Mit diesem Kapitel über Bildung und soziale Ungleichheit beginne ich den dritten und letzten Teil des Lehrbuchs Bildungssoziologie. In diesem Teil stehen Auseinandersetzungen mit zentralen Themen der Bildungssoziologie im Mittelpunkt. Es handelt sich um Themen, die sich durch große Breite und durch kontinuierlich weite Bearbeitung auszeichnen. Da das Feld der Auseinandersetzung um Bildung und soziale Ungleichheit fast unüberschaubar groß ist, wer…

The socio‐political significance of changes to the vocational education system in Germany
This paper explores the effects on social inequality in Germany of ongoing changes to the employment system and, thus, vocational education. Results based on an examination of the literature indicate that students from increasingly middle‐class backgrounds with higher levels of general, rather than vocational, educational attainment are winning the competition for ever‐fewer apprenticeships. Progress for women in education is accompanied by relat…
Diminished States? National Power in European Education Policy
The increasing research on international organisations’education policy lacks analyses of the relation between international organisations and nation states. This paper aims to analyse the power of nation states in international education policy. Focusing on the new degree system in higher education in Europe, partly from Foucault’s governmentality perspective, the paper suggests that nation states retain power while operating in international se…
Justice in higher education
English Normative philosophical theories of justice can provide valuable solutions for problems of justice in higher education. In this article the author presents three categories of explanation for the under-representation of women students in sciences, mathematics and engineering, and of female professorships in every subject. Against the background of philosophical theories of justice, the arguments of natural difference, discrimination and s…
