Past event
The provision of and access to school places in England is structured through segregation, and yet influential research takes place without due recognition of how selection and choice operate. For example, reform technologies ensure that public funds are used to keep identified categories of children out of a school.
In this seminar Prof Gunter’s intends scoping segregation as a form of policy violence, and proceeded to present a new approach to researching understanding and explanations of this trend as a political sociology.
Based on over thirty years of research funded by the ESRC and British Academy, Prof Gunter interconnects political thinking from Arendt with sociological thinking from Bourdieu to present a Thinking Politically-Sociologically Framework that includes: Vantage Points; Viewpoints; Regimes of Practice; Exchange Relationships; and Intellectual Histories.
