现在有越来越多的关于教育流动性的文献,本文有助于理解当代青年想象联合王国地理的方式,以及这如何转化为他们的流动性意图。使用吉登斯和梅西,并利用一个独特的多地点定性数据集,我们检查了这些流动如何被理解为嵌入到位于社会、经济和种族差异的特定空间结构中的自我叙事中。多地点的数据集提供了一个独特的机会,可以看到这些跨越空间的社会关系的同时性,随着时间的推移,相互塑造和重塑彼此。我们说明了想象中的流动性叙事中是如何嵌入了严重不平等的经济权力结构,(重新)在社会和地理空间产生了受压迫和主导的地位。种族和民族的几何形状也显示了不同种族群体看待他们大学选择的地理位置的方式。这些想象中的空间流动在英国大学入学时的模式,可以被解读为社会生活中根深蒂固的权力几何的进一步表现。
There now exists a growing literature on educational mobilities, and this paper contributes to understanding the way contemporary youth imagine the geography of the United Kingdom and how this translates to their mobility intentions. Using Giddens and Massey and drawing on a unique multi‐sited qualitative dataset, we examine how these flows can be understood as embedded within narratives of the self that are situated within a particular spatial structuring of social, economic, and ethnic difference. The multi‐sited dataset provides a unique opportunity to see the simultaneity of these social relations across space, mutually shaping, and reshaping each other over time. We illustrate how embedded within imagined mobility narratives are deeply unequal structures of economic power, (re)producing oppressed and dominant positions across social and geographic space. Geometries of race and ethnicity are also shown to structure the ways in which different ethnic groups look upon the geography of their university choices. The patterning of these imagined spatial flows around the United Kingdom at the point of university entry can be interpreted as one further manifestation of deep‐seated geometries of power that pervade social life.
