Rezensionen

"Educational Upward Mobility by Antonia Kupfer is a thought provoking monograph of international comparative research. ... Kupfer's scholarship examines the structural dimensions which inform how working-class people become aspirational. ... essential reading for scholars interested in social mobility and the formation of aspirations." (Garth Stahl, British Journal of Educational Studies, Vol. 65 (1), 2017)
