Sociologising Child and Youth Resilience with Bourdieu: An Australian Perspective

In this book, Mu crafts a sociology of resilience through his multi-year research with Australian students. Reframing resilience via Bourdieu’s relational and reflexive sociology, the book offers school professionals and educational researchers an epistemological tool to reapproach resilience and reappropriate Bourdieu for social change.
