CHOOSING A HIGH SCHOOL: FAMILY AND YOUTH STRATEGIES IN EXCLUDED PLACES OF CÓRDOBA

Authors

Abstract

We include this work within the study of school trajectories as an analysis perspective, focusing on the choice of the high school as a significant life event. The empirical material was rebuilt from a triangulation of inquiry techniques implemented in a public administration school in Córdoba. As main results, we found that the choice of the high school in excluded social areas is restricted by inequalities interwoven at economic, territorial, symbolic, and educational levels, fought by families attempting to mitigate them to achieve social, legal, and emotional recognition.
