LIVING ON THE EDGE –
RETHINKING POVERTY, CLASS AND SCHOOLING
BOOK LAUNCH
Living on the Edge – Rethinking poverty, class and schooling
By Professor Terry Wrigley
9 January 2014
1 – 2 pm
Based on his new book (co-authored with John Smyth), Terry
Wrigley will outline a long tradition of deficit thinking whereby children
growing up in poverty, their families, and those who teach them, are held to
blame for low achievement. The history of flawed explanations and faulty
evidence includes genetic intelligence, poor parenting and low aspirations.
The material and cultural impact of poverty on children has
been intensified and complicated in England through current Austerity
politics as well as rigid curriculum standardisation and surveillance. The book
also proposes a symbolic interactionist approach, drawing on Bourdieu and
Goffman, to understand and respond to the complexity of relationships and
(mis)understandings between teachers and students, or schools and communities.
