This is an email listserv for those using or interested in Legitimation Code Theory.

Legitimation Code Theory (LCT) emerged as an approach for the study of knowledge and education and is now being used to analyse a growing range of social and cultural practices across increasingly different institutional and national contexts, both within and beyond education.

LCT is a social realist approach that builds most directly on the approaches of Basil Bernstein and Pierre Bourdieu. It also integrates insights from sociology (Durkheim, Marx, Weber, Foucault, among others), philosophy (such as critical realism and Karl Popper), systemic functional linguistics, early cultural studies, anthropology (especially Mary Douglas and Ernest Gellner), and other disciplines.
