Thesis description
The thesis study how parents and teachers experience their encounter and how they negotiate their positions in the field of schooling. The study employs a qualitative design (interviews with teachers and parents and observations in development conferences) and use Bourdieu’s theory of practice to examine encounters in schools in urban areas. The thesis developed the notion of parental school capital at the intersection of four components: educational capital, sociocultural context of upbringing, family dynamics and student’s schooling situation.
