ABSTRACT
Addressing “the way class works” entails a debate about the usefulness of different theories and conceptual lenses as tools for depicting the world. It is to take a position on which issues deserve to be prioritized and which are silenced in that story. It is also to consider a range of different arenas of life-individual experience and subjectivity, work and social relations, schooling, social formation. And it brings with it concerns about politics and action: where and how might things be changed. These are all central issues for the study of schooling.
