Gallacher, Jim; Crossan, Beth; Field, John; Merrill, Barbara
International Journal of Lifelong Education, v21 n6 p493-509 Nov-Dec 2002
Data from Scottish adults (41 new participants in further education, 15 continuing participants, 33 nonparticipants) illustrate the complex process of reengaging in learning. The data demonstrate the influence of social milieu (Bourdieu's notion of habitus)--the personal, institutional, and structural factors that support or limit an individual's learning career.
