"When Choices Become Chances: Extending Boudon’s Secondary Effects Theory to Analyse Social Reproduction Through University Choices in Contemporary China"
This study extends Boudon’s positional theory to understand different patterns of university choices in contemporary China. This study provides new evidence on a pattern of class-bound conformity in contrast to the rational course of action from students’ narratives on economic, opportunity and culture risks. It also highlights geographical inequality in the opportunity structure of higher education as an uncomfortable making of legitimised and institutionalised discrimination against those from poor regions.
