社会学很少关注运气在社会流动/再生产中的作用。本文借鉴了11年来（10-21岁）对20名工人阶级年轻人及其22名父母进行的200多次纵向采访的见解，有助于解决这一概念差距。我们探讨了13个教育移动的年轻人谁是家庭中第一个上大学的轨迹内的运气的潜在意义，六个年轻人谁实现了类似的教育水平，他们的父母和一个年轻人的地位是不太明确。我们的分析表明，特定形式的运气可能有助于创造社会流动的机会，虽然这些结果是通过中介机构，结构，惯习和资本的相互作用。我们的结论是，进一步关注运气可能有助于增加社会学的结构/代理和社会再生产的布迪厄的理解。
Scant sociological attention has been given to the role of luck within social mobility/reproduction. This paper helps address this conceptual gap, drawing on insights from over 200 longitudinal interviews conducted with 20 working-class young people and 22 of their parents over an 11-year period, from age 10–21. We explore the potential significance of luck within the trajectories of 13 educationally mobile young people who were the first in family to go to university, six young people who achieved similar educational levels to their parents and one young person whose status was less clear cut. Our analysis suggests that particular forms of luck may be instrumental in creating opportunities for social mobility, although the consequentiality of these are mediated through interplays of agency, structure, habitus and capital. We conclude that paying further attention to luck may help augment sociological understandings of structure/agency and Bourdieusian understandings of social reproduction.
