Rating: 5/5 from 2 reviews A comprehensive reader in the sociology of educationIn The Structure Of Schooling, Richard Arum and Irenee Beattie successfully collaborate to compile a comprehensive reader in the sociology of education surveying critical topics and examples of sociological research on schools and education from both classic and contemporary scholarship. The issues surveyed include the development and application of social and cultural capital; the effects of racial segregation and resource inequality; the effects of tracking; the role of gender, class, and race in structuring educational opportunity; the effects of schooling on life-course outcomes; the significance of a school's institutional environment; and the sociology of school reform movements. The Structure Of Schooling is a highly recommended addition to the sociology of education reading lists and reference collections. Education ReadingsEnjoy the breadth and depth of entries. There is a good variety, particularly class, race, and gender. Would like to see more on the adolescent. I now see this in the follow-up work. Thanks for this excellent complilation. | ||||||||||||||||||
