We (re-)emphasize the role of field theory in cultural capital research in education, taking into consideration current concerns in international quantitative research. %G English %2 https://sciencespo.hal.science/hal-01295802v1/document %2 https://sciencespo.hal.science/hal-01295802v1/file/2014-krarup-field-theory-in-cultural-capital-studies-of-educational-attainment-vauteur.pdf %L hal-01295802 %U https://sciencespo.hal.science/hal-01295802 %~ MAXPO
