Subject: Re: teachers and social reproduction...


a nice little collection of studies is "academic discourse" by Bourdieu,
Passeron, and someone else.  The research is somewhat dated, but worth a
read as it describes a variety of pedagogical techniques that we still
often see in universities, that seem to reproduce class.

so, yes, it does get into specifics, even in terms of layout of the
classroom or lecture hall.
