“…Previous studies of disadvantaged students within elite higher education have highlighted how they experienced feelings of not belonging, alienation, difficulty preserving their working-class identity and consciousness of their difference in relation to their wealthier peers (Aries & Seider, 2005;Jensen, 2004;Jetten et al, 2008;Nelson et al, 2006), consistent with Bourdieu's (2000) idea of the cleft habitus. However, some may perform 'creative adaptations' at elite universities and be able to cultivate positive university experiences in their new environment (Ostrove & Long, 2007;Reay et al, 2009).…”

This original study followed up ten beneficiaries of a UK charity‐led programme that supported disadvantaged students in applying to elite US universities. First interviewed in 2015 during their early university days in the United States, in our 2019 follow‐up all participants had graduated. Six remained in the United States and four had returned to the United Kingdom, with only one returning to their pre‐university community. They reported benefitting immensely from their international opportunities and were nearly all in high‐paying graduate jobs or high‐profile graduate programmes. Drawing on Bourdieu's concept of the ‘cleft habitus’, which can result from rapid and substantial shifts in field, we found that this was rare. Rather, the majority had undergone a ‘wholesale escape’, replacing their originary habitus with one that was consistent with their new field. The significance of the study is that the findings allow us to propose the concept of ‘helicopter mobility’ to describe individualised approaches to social mobility, whereby those considered to have merit are removed from their communities without questioning or affecting wider structural inequalities.

“…The finding that the association between ACEs and IPV was weaker among studies with older participants may also be explained by the fact that adulthood is associated with greater responsibility, including those related to careers and parenthood, and this transition generally leads to a decrease in crime (Massoglia & Uggen, 2010). Further, older adulthood is associated with several protective factors for IPV, such as increased social capital and financial stability (Zweig, 2004).…”

Adverse childhood experiences and intimate partner violence: A meta-analysis

et al. 2023

Intimate partner violence (IPV) represents a significant public health concern. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) represent one risk factor for IPV, however, the results of existing research on the association between ACEs and IPV demonstrate mixed findings. The present research sought to meta-analytically examine the association between ACEs and (a) IPV perpetration and (b) IPV victimization. Moderator analyses were conducted to determine factors that may impact the association between ACEs and IPV involvement. Electronic searches were conducted in MEDLINE, Embase, and PsycINFO in August of 2021. One-hundred and twenty-three records were screened for inclusion. All studies included a measure of ACEs and IPV victimization or perpetration. Among the 27 studies and 41 samples included in the meta-analysis, 65,330 participants were included. The results of the meta-analyses demonstrated that ACEs were positively associated with IPV perpetration and victimization. Significant methodological and measurement moderators further inform our understanding of ACEs and IPV involvement. The present meta-analyses demonstrates that trauma-informed approaches to IPV screening, prevention, and intervention may be useful, given that individuals who are involved with IPV may be more likely to possess a history of ACEs exposure.

“…Some FGF code-switch, using home speech and clothing with students and more formal self-presentation with colleagues (e.g., Muzzatti & Samarco, 2006;Serravallo, 2018;Soria, 2016; see also Warnock, 2016b). Some reframe the oft-cited cultural mismatch as the intersection of two valuable-rather than mutually exclusive-options (Jensen, 2004), which can yield an enriching experience and a unique cultural identity (Gorzelsky, 2005;Phillips, 1995;Wilson, 1984)-for example, by inserting working-class "wit and wisdom" into collegial disputes (Serravallo, 2018, p. 20;Wilson, 1984). Even as reconciliation may be mentally "taxing" (L. Cannon et al, 2019;Jensen, 2004;Langston, 1993;Soria, 2016, p. 133), it allows FGF to avoid both the constant stress of keeping up middle-class appearances and the isolation of the nearly impossible task of fully rejecting academic culture (Serravallo, 2018).…”
