Resumo
This paper analyses the kinds of capital, practices and investments that
are implicated in the participation of migrant mothers in the educational
careers of their children, drawing on a Bourdieusian framework. We present
findings of a study of Muslim Iraqi mothers with school-aged
children in Australia, based on 47 interviews with 25 participants. The
study identifies different modes of involvement in children’s education
and connects these to mothers’ cultural and social capital. Involvement,
and its effectiveness, is analysed through the analytical categories of (i)
high capital-high involvement; (ii) low capital-high involvement; and
(iii) low capital-minimal direct involvement. The paper contributes to
the theorisation of family–school relations in the context of migration,
and develops a more nuanced perspective for studying social class positioning
and repositioning.
