I have conceptualised an alternative educational pathway as a subfield of formal education (a structured space for students to interrelate) and as such the homology of field theoretically affords members an alternative pathway to accumulate capitals valued in formal education. However, my analysis suggests a struggle exists between homology of field and homology of position, creating division and contestation over the legitimacy of accumulation pathways. Can anyone suggest further reading or other research in this area that I can clarify my thinking.
