Bildungsaufstieg zwischen Inklusion und Exklusion – Ein bildungstheoretischer Zugang zu sozialer Ungleichheit
Abstract
Abstract Educational Upward Mobility between Inclusion and Exclusion – Understanding Social Inequality through a Theory of Education Lens This article explores educational upward mobility as a key to understanding the ambivalences of social inequality. Drawing on a theory of education perspective, it conceptualizes educational upward mobility as a site where inclusion and exclusion intersect. By situating upward mobility at the nexus of socio-historical transformations, generational relations and class transitions, the paper frames it as a relational phenomenon of modernity. The argument advanced here is that educational institutions simultaneously enable and constrain participation.
