ABSTRACT

This is the final of three discussion chapters giving a voice to the participants. Whilst Chapter 4 discussed the transmission of social class and lived inequalities from one generation to the next, Chapter 5 explored the participants’ schooling and educational experiences and how they played a role in (re)producing their lived class inequalities. This chapter concludes the arguments and discussions put forward in this book, including the ones around the structure and agency debate. It does so by offering a solution connecting the participants to the historical process of class struggles. A (micro-level) visual intervention was designed as a form of praxis for the participants to problem-pose and problem-solve for the development of critical and emancipatory skills. The reader will come to understand how and where the participants engaged in a transformative process to become upwardly mobile both individually and as active members of wider society and in doing so, where they accumulated capitals and developed a class/critical consciousness.
