The Impact

This chapter considers the pathways to becoming an artistic social entrepreneur. Previous research on social entrepreneurs has emphasized the impact of one's stock of human, social, and cultural capital on one's mobilization of requisite resources for launching and sustaining a social enterprise. Less sociological attention has been given to the influence of career-biographical factors, such as family, religion, education, and pivotal career turning points that may inspire and compel one to become a social entrepreneur and to envision and shape one's social enterprise, let alone an artistic social enterprise. The profiles of four artistic social entrepreneurs in this chapter illustrate how their strategic and risk orientations and career pathways shape the social enterprises they envision and influence their assumption and enactment of their roles as artist activists.

First Time

Conventional wisdom has long held that class is declining as an influence on voting. More recently, new conceptions of class, focusing on the ownership of economic assets and the possession of social and cultural capital, have challenged this view. This article evaluates these arguments in two ways. First, we examine trends in the impact of traditional measures of class on the vote in Australia from the 1960s to the present day. Second, using a 2015 national survey that measures different aspects of class voting, we assess for the first time the relative effects on the vote of occupation, assets, and social and cultural capital. The results show that while occupation has declined and is now unimportant, the ownership of both assets and cultural capital are major influences on the vote. We argue that the impact of class on the vote has not declined, but rather transformed itself in new and different ways, which has important long-term implications for party support.

The Impact

Governments worldwide have focused attention on improving educational attainment in order to meet the labour demands of the knowledge economy. I explore decisions taken concerning further and higher education among seventy-one students from a highly successful comprehensive school in North East England, and argue that the postulated links between attainment, higher education, and secure well-paid employment are more complicated than policy documents suggest. Instead, I argue for a greater understanding among policy makers of the specificity of place and of the impact of relative differences in economic, social, and cultural capital.

The Impact

The purpose of study was to investigate the impact of maternal education on child mortality. A large frame of studies suggests that a causal relationship exists between maternal training and youth mortality. This paper seeks to shed some light at the influence of maternal schooling and youth mortality. The results show that acquisition of education leads to higher human, social and cultural capital amongst moms, that's associated with progressed baby survival. Moreover, this study show that better training of the mother is related to more physical and choice-making autonomy for her inside the household, which may also lead to higher fitness outcomes for the child.

The Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented changes to the way college faculty and students are expected to teach and learn. For vulnerable populations, remaining virtually connected is an additional burden that students must navigate, along with financial instability, food insecurity, and familial responsibilities. College students who do not have access to computers or reliable internet access at home and depend on university onsite resources must seek alternative venues to continue their studies. Guided by Bourdieu's social and cultural capital theories, digital quality, and no-cost resources in mitigating a growing divide are examined. College students' learning needs in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of open educational and technology-based resources on students' learning experiences and academic outcomes are discussed. Survey results highlight students' concerns regarding the transition to a virtual university. Affordable and accessible solutions are presented to address these concerns to keep college students connected.

The Impact

This article concerns the Participatory Web and the impact it has on academic researchers’ perceptions of digital scholarship practices. The Participatory Web, as a space of active involvement, presence and socialisation of knowledge, has the potential to introduce significant changes to scholarly practice and to diversify it. This article draws on the findings of a narrative inquiry study that investigated the habitus of 10 digital scholars. The study uses Bourdieu’s concepts of habitus, field, and social and cultural capital as a research lens. One of the main findings to come out of the study was that research participants’ approaches to digital scholarship practices are highly influenced by their online social capital, the online networks that influence their thinking and outlook on scholarly practices, including their advocacy of openness and transparency of academic practice. This article concludes by highlighting the dispositions digital scholars display in an attempt to characterise the values and beliefs that underpin their scholarly practices.Keywords: digital scholarship; habitus; social capital; cultural capital; the Participatory Web; Pierre Bourdieu(Published: 31 January 2014)Citation: Research in Learning Technology 2014, 21: 21274 - http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/rlt.v21.21274

The opportunities of the competitive advantages use of the social and cultural capital for pro-modernization institutional reforms in Kazakhstan are considered in the article. Based on a number of sociological surveys national-specific features of the cultural capital are marked, which can encourage the country's social and economic development: bonding social capital, propensity for taking executive positions (not ordinary), mobility and adaptability (characteristic for nomad cultures), high value of education. The analysis shows the resources of the productive use of these socio-cultural features.
