Abstract

This chapter explores the complex relationship between class, education and the creative and cultural sector in the UK. Recent research in the creative and cultural sector had found that it is dominated by the privileged and shaped by their values and their visions, alongside a lack of mobility from those having working-class backgrounds into the sector, hampered by lifelong reduced chances for mobility in early childhood. Higher education is also a part of the matrix that lets this happen. To understand its role in perpetuating inequality, it is explored within the context of wider structural, socially constructed hierarchies and applies a theoretical sociological framework and approach to the areas in question, combining social imaginaries, hegemony, field theory and hybridity. Applying the theoretical framework detailed earlier helps to expose the complex power relations and ambiguities in the areas of class, education and the creative and cultural sector. School, university, industry and other institutions in the cultural sector all shape the dominance of elite groups, alongside a monotheistic notion of class, rather than a hybridised one.
