Abstract:
Paul Willis analyzes his book Learning to labor with Steve Taylor, discussing its origins, methodology and content. Willis's study, which began in the 1970s, focused on a small group of non-conforming working class boys. While many sociological studies viewed the educational failure of these kids as passive victims of social deprivaton, Willis painted a picture of some working class kids actively failing themselves by developing cultures of resistance opposed to school.
