Studies focusing on how gender and social class reinforce each other in terms of students' undergraduate subject choices have not been conducted in China. This article reports a mixed method study, comprising a large-scale questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. Drawing on both the quantitative and qualitative data, this study reveals that undergraduate subject choices remain strongly gender-differentiated. The qualitative data show the impact of family habitus, in particular the social-classed views of parents, on the decision-making process. It is noted that social class leads working-class students to make less gender-stereotypical choices than students of the middle-class origin. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
