Original abstract

Extensive research discusses how young people's educational 'choices' and trajectories are implicated in the reproduction of social inequalities.This paper addresses three key gaps, adding to: (i) the paucity of qualitative longitudinal studies of young people's trajectories; (ii) understanding of young people who 'go against the grain' of social reproduction in classed/ gendered ways, and (iii) the role of subjectivity within young people's negotiations of their trajectories.It employs a Bourdieusian lens, analyzing 22 longitudinal interviews conducted with two white young men, Buddy (middle-class) and Hedgehog (working-class), and their parents, over an 11-year period, from age 10-22.It discusses how family socialisation practices worked on and through subjectivity to cultivate a disposition towards 'responsible' (white, classed) masculinity that supported social reproduction and constrained their pursuit of arts trajectories.Transgression was facilitated through experiences of habitus cliv and the young men's agentic leveraging of societal discourses around neoliberalism and self-actualisation.It is suggested that subjectivity is a key site for young people's transition work that is implicated in both reproductive and transformative pathways.Implications for policy include challenging dominant human capital and rational action assumptions within education and careers policy and practice and providing greater understanding and support for transgressive trajectories.
