Racial and classed inequalities in education are relational, yet they are too often studied separately.

This edited volume tackles the interlocking systems of disadvantage linked to race and class that shape learning experiences across different stages of education. Through a Bourdieusian lens, the chapters reveal how policy, pedagogy and everyday practice reproduce or challenge inequities, offering new ways to understand inclusion and belonging in diverse educational spaces.

This is a must-read for educators, researchers and policymakers committed to combatting educational inequalities and promoting equity and social justice.
