Schools, Space and Culinary Capital, Paperback / softback Book

Schools, Space and Culinary Capital Paperback / softback

Part of the Routledge Advances in Sociology series

Paperback / softback

Description

This book introduces the notion of culinary capital to investigate socialisation and school mealtime experiences in an academy school based in the UK.

Drawing on interviews collated from children, teachers and staff within the school, the text sheds light on food insecurity in society and schools as being major issue in educational policy.

The book examines schools as a microcosm for society with school food space being the playground for socialisation.

It shows how forms of culinary capital can be extended in the school dining hall where social space is negotiated with notions of inclusion and exclusion during mealtime.

The book uses gender, class and race to understand the school dining hall as a space where culinary capital can be exchanged and learnt.

Thorough research accompanied by ethnographic visuals, field notes and observations, it also explores the sensory impact of school gardens.

As such the book will be of interest to students, teachers, school leaders, educators and policy makers in the fields of Education, Sociology, Social Policy and Food Studies.
