The place of origin in understanding the permanence in higher education: a sociological portrait approach. Educ. Pesqui. [online]. 2024, vol.50, e274566.  Epub Nov 19, 2024.

This study proposes a theoretical and methodological approach for research based on the work of Bernard Lahire, with a focus on the structure and composition of sociological portraits. The study also incorporates the analytical dimension of the place of origin within this construct to deepen the understanding of why young people from popular backgrounds persist in management undergraduate courses. This framework will take into account various dimensions involved in their trajectories, such as family, work, education, leisure, sociability, and place of origin. The theoretical foundation of this study will be further explained below. By applying Bernard Lahire’s dispositional theory and incorporating interdisciplinary perspectives from the fields of Sociology and Geography, this research intends to contribute to the development of new data and perspectives for analysis. The study highlights the importance of directly observing the place of origin of young people from popular backgrounds studying management, as it reinforces the presence of place in the constitution of youthful biographies and its influence on the persistence of young people in higher education. It reinforces the need for dialogues and new perspectives to identify and understand phenomena in management undergraduate courses and contributes to the set of research that seeks to understand the reality and dynamics of Brazilian social groups from more popular contexts in their interaction contexts.
