Concept information
Preferred term
life course perspective and education
Definition
- The life course perspective in sociological research combines a theory of the institutionalized construction of people's “normal” ages, identities, and gendered lives with biographical studies of how individuals subjectively tell stories about their experiences. Where the lifecycle approach traces a linear biological path from birth to death, sociologists highlight the roles that history, social structure, and cultural context play in influencing people's trajectories through certain episodes of their lives.
