In this introduction to Pierre Bourdieu, I look at a number of his key concepts: Habitus, Field & Cultural Capital, while focusing primarily on habitus. First I contextualize Bourdieu's sociology in the debates between structuralism, existentialism, and postmodernism. I look at how Bourdieu can help us understand emotions, class and children's health inequalities.
