Cultural Capital, Identity, and Social Mobility: The Life Course of Working-Class University Graduates - Routledge Advances in Sociology
Matthys, Mick (Universiteit Utrecht, The Netherlands)
This qualitative study explores the meaning of working-class origin in the life and career of university graduates. Matthys approaches social mobility as a trajectory of identity construction in which different classes are integrated, and uses the notion of identity capital to interpret and discuss the meaning of the individual drive in social mobility.
