title = "Negotiating Habitus",
abstract = "This chapter focuses on the experiences of the working-class boys within the grammar school and how (or whether) these boys reconcile their habitus with the institutional habitus of the school. The relationship between the boys{\textquoteright} habitus and the habitus promoted, inculcated, and valued by the institution will be discussed. The school has a very academic ethos and the boys are expected to comply and demonstrate particular dispositions. At the same time the boys have grown up in a working-class neighbourhood where dispositions have developed that are not necessarily aligned with the school field. This chapter explores some of the tensions that arise when the boys{\textquoteright} habitus encounter the school field.",
