Class, culture, and barriers to mobility -  Prof. Annette Lareau
In this lecture, Annette presents qualitative research revealing the nuanced ways cultural knowledge can be consequential in mobility journeys, based on research in the USA with a racially-diverse sample of young people from different class locations. This includes longitudinal data from two books she has written: one that highlights how young adults’ knowledge of navigating institutional barriers can have key consequences; and another that illuminates how organisations routinely made errors that thwarted the paths of refugees in Philadelphia from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. She discusses the impact of these errors, particularly in the delivery of services, and how cultural knowledge was essential to untangling the “knots” that arise. Annette Lareau is Professor of Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania. Currently, she is also a Leverhulme Visiting Professor in the Department of Sociology at the London School of Economics.

Way with words
How can we understand the way words are used? What power do they have to reinforce and also disrupt power? This video recorded by Dr Sam Evans and Dr Mariah Whelan shows how two ‘word-based’ methods (discourse analysis and poetry, specifically cento) can be used as critical methodologies in inequality research. This video provides an introduction to these techniques showing how they can be used to scrutinise online ‘careers advice’ for early career academics. The discussion between Sam and Mariah also highlights points of connection, surprise and the value of collaborating across disciplines.

Introduction: trust and accountability: two sides of the same coin? - Dr Melanie Ehren
UCL Centre for Educational Evaluation and Accountability (www.educationalevaluation.net) Trust and control: How can regulators build trust in relationships dominated by control? For many people inspection and accountability are about control and often control based on distrust, looking for errors that need to be corrected. In this perspective there is no room for trust in accountability and inspection relationships. Yet, trust is important in these relationships if accountability and inspection are to lead to behavioural change in schools and improved learning outcomes. So how can we overcome this dilemma? This seminar will address the intricate relation between trust and accountability. Three speakers will address the topic from various viewpoints, discussing how to define and measure trust in education systems, how regulators can build trust into relationships that are dominated by control, and the cultural context of how we understand trust.
