Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal examines the sociology of education, focusing on how social structures, inequalities, and individual experiences shape educational processes and outcomes. It explores themes of identity, habitus, and the reproduction of inequalities, as well as the impact of school composition and social segregation on student attainment. The journal also addresses the experiences of academics, including issues of collegiality, racism, and forced displacement, and investigates the role of parents and children in educational settings, particularly in response to anxiety and complex behaviors.
