Abstract
This paper connects Bourdieu’s concepts of habitus, dispositions and capital with
a psychosocial analysis of how Winnicott’s psychoanalysis and Honneth’s recognition
theory can be of importance in understanding how and why non-traditional
students remain in higher education. Understanding power relations in an interdisciplinary
way makes connections – by highlighting intersubjectivity – between
external social structures and subjective experiences in a biographical study of
how non-traditional learner identities may be transformed through higher education
in England and the Republic of Ireland.
