TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue for a perspective on policy, as informed by and as practice, and apply it across all elements of the policy cycle, drawing especially but not exclusively on Bourdieu's work on practice and its relationships with habitus, capital and field.
Abstract: This article, drawing especially but not exclusively on Bourdieu’s work on practice and its relationships with habitus, capital, and field, argues for a perspective on policy, as informed by and as practice, and applies it across all elements of the policy cycle. It is argued that a practice perspective captures well the economies of power in policy in its various contexts. A conception of policy as practice also provides analytical resources to account for the dynamic nature of the production and movement of policy ideas and their resemiotization, as they are pulled into and used in, and for, education policy.

TL;DR: In this paper, a Bourdieuian approach is adopted to identify underlying structures and practices that have causal powers to generate gender-based inequalities in innovation and enterprise activity in SET departments within three UK universities.
Abstract: This paper demonstrates that engagement in innovation and enterprise activity in SET departments within three UK universities is, in part, gendered. A Bourdieuian approach is adopted to identify underlying structures and practices that have causal powers to generate gender-based inequalities. Drawing on empirical research with 52 participants, this study reveals gendered science enterprise experiences, characterized by a field that is considered strong in shaping the habitus and presenting stark options to women in pursuit of their careers. It demonstrates the multilayered nature of the fields that shape gendered experiences and resultant inequalities by taking into account individual dispositions of academics and their habitus, including their science enterprise experience and the wider commercial field beyond the university, and generates a number of implications for practice and policy.
