| Synopsis: |
Social Mobility for the 21st Century addresses experiences of social mobility, and the detailed processes through which entrenched, intergenerationally-transmitted privilege are reproduced. Contributions will include (but are not limited to) family relationships, students' encounters with Higher Education, narratives of work careers, and `mobility identities'. The book intends to challenge both the framework of the more traditional approach, and the politicisation of mobility which casts `mobility' as a possession, a commodity or a character trait, and threatens to castigate the `non-mobile' as carrying a personal responsibility for their situation. This book presents critical analyses of routes into social mobility, the experience of social mobility, and the political and social implications of social mobility's `panacea' status. Drawing on the work of established scholars and more recent entrants, the chapters will offer a fresh look at social mobility, opening up the topic to a wider readership among the profession and beyond, and stimulating further debate. This book will appeal to higher level students and scholars of sociology alike, as well as having a broad cross disciplinary appeal. |
