Psychological Meanings of Social Class in the Context of Education
Edited by: JOAN M OSTROVE and ELIZABETH COLE - ISBN: 9781405118842
Description: This issue of JSI is an effort to engage psychologists in a critical study of
social class; that is, a systematic, research-based literature focused on the exploration
of the psychological meaning of social class to diverse groups of people. Because
educational institutions both attempt to offer opportunity and often simultaneously
reproduce existing class stratification, the context of education is an ideal stage on
which to watch the dynamics and contradictions of class play out in both individual and
social psychology.
Focuses on understanding attitudes, beliefs and attributions about class.
Examines the processes through which education may provide class mobility for some, while
maintaining class status for others.
Brings attention to the implications of a critical psychology of social class for both
educational policy and practice. |
