Sullivan, Alice. 20002. "Bourdieu and education: how useful is Bourdieu's theory for researchers?." Netherlands Journal of Social Sciences 38.2: 144-166.
- says habitus is useless, too vague adn vacuous and impossible to use empirically
- lots of researchers have worked on cultural capital ,but they have achieved varying results, mainly due to differences in the wy they operationalize cultural capital (155-163)
- seems liek cultural capital can be helpful, but it is still difficult to tell if the relationshp works as it should, which is:
- cultural capital helps one attain educational credentials which in turn help one attain better position in society (154)
- Bourdieu claims there is a working class habitus that makes working class people more likely to self-select out of education (151, citing Bourdieu and Passeron 1977: 153)
