摘要
In this paper I argue that the health and well- being outcomes of people at different levels of a social hierarchy, as studied by epidemiologists and psychologists has relevance for educational research, especially in unequal societies. When addressing poverty- associated risk, the educational emphasis need not only be on attaining more individual wealth in society, but could rather be to improve the educational, psychological and social well- being. I draw on four ethnographic studies to construct a bricolage of narratives to show how resilience, health and well- being agendas may lead to positive education outcomes given inequality.
