📚 New paper out! “Vocational narratives: How students make sense of their educational choices” (Sociology). With @javierrujas.bsky.social y.social & @saragilmo.bsky.social we rethink “vocation” as a social construct & show how young people use it to legitimise their choices. 🔗 shorturl.at/ekCql

Educational choices are not just individual decisions — they are socially structured processes of meaning-making. Understanding this is key for research, policy, and equity If you work on educational transitions, inequality or student decision-making, we’d love to hear your thoughts!

We also identify important gaps in the literature: • Overrepresentation of UK & Northern Europe • Limited research from Southern & Eastern Europe • Lack of focus on how choices actually happen, this is, the mechanisms involved in the process

Educational systems are not neutral either 👉 Tracking, school environments, and teacher expectations actively shape students’ horizons of possibility In many cases, they reproduce existing inequalities.

Students don’t just “choose” — they choose based on who they think they are (and can be) 👉 Learner identities and sense of belonging are crucial 👉 And they are deeply socially structured

Unsurprisingly — but importantly — social inequality plays a key role in educational choices through multiple mechanisms. We identify four key dimensions shaping decision-making: 1. Inequality: social class, gender & ethnicity 2. Identity 3. Social agents 4. Educational systems

Educational “choice” is everywhere in education debates — but what do we really mean by it? We conducted a scoping literature review of 93 studies (2012–2022) focusing on how research adresses students' sense-making about their educational decisions.
