Bourdieu And The Sociology Of Music Education

This edited collection draws together a group of international scholars and artist-practitioners who offer a critical introduction and exploration of Pierre Bourdieu's generative conceptual tools for advancing sociological views of music education. The volume includes research perspectives and studies of how Bourdieu's tools have been applied in industry and educational contexts, including the primary, secondary and higher music education sectors. Beginning with an introduction to Bourdieu's contribution to theory and methodology it goes on to deal in detail with illustrative substantive studies. The concluding chapter critiques the application of his work and examines the ways in which the studies contained in the volume advance understanding.
