  strategies in Pakistan: On perilous methodological ground? - Rabea Malik\

DESCRIPTION:Pre-existing social and economic inequalities affect access to
 \, experience and outcomes of schooling in ways which can be studied by lo
 oking at parental decisions about school choice and in the nature and freq
 uency of participation in schools. These questions are part of a PhD resea
 rch on how school choice and parental participation policies impact educat
 ion service delivery in state run\, private and assisted private schools i
 n Pakistan. I see value in borrowing from Bourdieu's concepts of capitals 
 (social\, economic and cultural) for analysing the differences in nature a
 nd level of participation and negotiations of the market for education thr
 ough school choice decisions. However\, there are methodological specifici
 ties which must be taken into account. In this discussion\, I hope to expl
 ore the possibilities and challenges of adapting some of Bourdieu's concep
 ts within a framework and for a setting which is far removed from the sett
 ing for Bourdieu's work.
