In this episode, Matthew talks to Manuela Mendoza who conducted her PhD in Education at UCL-Institute of Education, supervised by Prof Carol Vincent. Along with three colleagues, Manuela is guest editor of a special edition on Sociology of Education for the Journal of Sociology with the title “Education and the Production of Inequalities: Dialogues from the Global South and North”.
Outline: The aim of the special issue was to bring together current scholarly research on the sociology of education to critically explore the question: what is the role of education in (re)producing social inequalities and what potential does it have to challenge them? We invited authors to reflect on their research and to identify points of encounter, in different contexts, based on a diversity of sociological theories and methodologies.
