Document Summary
Agenda: (we might not finish this all today) Unequal education (johnathan kozol, 1967, 1995, 2005) Social mobility: movement of people up and down in a stratified system. Social reproduction: tendency for people to remain in their social classes (remember our discussion on bourdieu?) Circular mobility: the circular movement of people (up down and up again) Structural mobility: shifts in the economy which allow for greater movement of people (either up or down) Reproductive mobility: those at the bottom have more children than those at the top. Immigration mobility: read the example by sernau (2014: 212) on immigrants and immigrant tensions between long standing groups and newer immigrants groups n. Rise in certification and general interest courses (living in the credential gap: responses to underemployment and underqualification by david w. linvingstone 2006). No educational fix for equality (sernau, 2014: 214-215) Amazing grace: the lives of children and the conscience of a nation (1995)
