| Description | Pierre Bourdieus theory of capitals has proven highly influential in studies of education. Many researchers have used the concept of cultural capital to explain how educational inequalities arise and persist. However critics have argued that cultural capital is difficult to operationalise, only accounts for a small part of educational inequality and/or is specific to the French case. |
