“…Despite these mixed results, recent work returning to the question of schooling as a source of economic and social values has found schooling can affect basic beliefs about the structure of society in ways that persist into adulthood (Bruch & Soss, ; Marshall, ; Mendelberg, McCabe, & Thal, ; Surridge, ). This work emphasizes two major channels through which more/less equality in the schooling can affect long‐run economic attitudes, which mirror Pierson’s () material and interpretive channels.…”

Do policies that shape equality in schools have effects on the type of society and polity that the citizens educated in them want? This paper examines this question by analyzing variation in the English schooling experiences using the British Cohort Study and British Panel Study. It shows that the social environment of schooling affects adults’ attitudes to fairness and Conservative vote choice, but that policies targeting these social environments have weak effects. The paper theorizes that actual policy feedback in education is often limited, because the effects of policies on school experiences are mediated by the behaviors of other actors on the ground.

“…According to this framework, social policies that work against the "neoliberal agenda" -a redistribution of wealth, for example -are not academically produced (or promoted) by the educational institution (Surridge 2016). Importantly, though, social policies that do not interfere with this agenda -such as equal access to jobs among those equally qualified, women's rights, etc.…”

“…Though the developmental model, socialization model, and ideological refinement model have been tested and debated by sociologists for decades, Surridge (2016) notes that we are still no closer to answering why education has such a profound impact on an individual's liberal attitudes. And while this is certainly a very important question for sociologists, the specific means behind education's influence on social values has little importance here.…”

“…Alongside the socialization model, the ideological refinement model began attracting the attention of sociologists in the mid-1980s (Phelen et al 1995;Surridge 2016).

Exploring the role of university education in reducing the appeal of right‐wing populism

Why are university‐educated ethnic majority men less likely to support right‐wing populism (RWP) than those without university education? To investigate this under‐researched question, we conducted an exploratory study using semistructured interviews and thematic analysis with white Australian men from different socioeconomic backgrounds. While some with university education supported RWP, their views aligned with a moderate version of the ideology. Student/graduate supporters of RWP were opposed to hiring practices designed to support gender and ethnic equity. Students/graduates who experienced contact with Others were generally more positive about diversity, but this was not always the case for non‐university participants. While students/graduates with RWP leanings tended to see university as a politically biased institution, concerns about political correctness were widespread across the sample. Significantly, numerous students/graduates experienced university education as promoting a pluralist outlook, and this outlook appears fundamentally incompatible with the monist tendencies of RWP ideology. However, findings also suggest that university education is not the only route to a pluralist outlook, nor does it always lead to a rejection of RWP. Hence, developing a pluralist outlook may be more important than university education in reducing the appeal of RWP. The implications of these exploratory findings for future research are discussed.
