Pierre Bourdieüs contributions to the theory and practice of social research are far reaching. Possibly the most prominent sociologist in recent times, his work has touched on a myriad of topics and has influenced scholars in multiple disciplines. Throughout Bourdieüs work, emphasis is placed on the linkage between the practice of social research and its relationship to social theory. This book honours Bourdieüs commitment to the inextricable relationship between social theory and research in social science.

quantitative survey data. The focus of this volume is how researchers can take key elements of Bourdieüs work and apply them to the analysis of quantitative data on a variety of topics. Throughout the volume, issues of the possible interpretations of concepts and measurement validity are focused upon in a language that can be appreciated by new and experienced researchers alike. This volume is useful for courses where the linkage between theory and research is emphasized, at both the upper undergraduate and general postgraduate level. In addition to serving as a teaching tool, the articles within the volume will be invaluable to any scholar interested in working with Bourdieüs concepts in quantitative research.
