Exploring Student Teachers’ Emerging Practice in Northern Ireland: a Bourdieusian Analysis. Mary Claire Connolly B.A. (Joint Hons), P.G.C.E., M.Ed. Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) School of Education, College of Social Sciences University of Glasgow April, 2019 Abstract ‘Class’ has become increasingly invisible in contemporary society, with teachers reluctant to discuss or acknowledge it (Reay, 2006; Hall and Jones, 2013). This can lead to inequality as the education system continues to disadvantage working-class children while advantaging their middle-class peers. In this study, I focus on two aspects of this problem. First is the impact on education due to the perpetuation of class-based inequality and, secondly, the (in)ability of teachers to recognise and/or address this inequality within the system.
