Sharon Jones – författare

I en vardag fylld av ytliga statusuppdateringar och filterbilder är det lätt att glömma bort att reflektera över sig själv. Även om vi är mer uppkopplade till omvärlden än någonsin, känner många en känsla av isolering. Då kan det vara dags för lite egenterapi.

I Bekänn och bränn får du på ett underhållande och kreativt sätt hjälp att avslöja ditt sanna jag. Som en upptäcktsresa i jaget låter denna bok dig utforska både vem du är och vem du vill vara. Här kan du fördjupa dig i dina tankar, värderingar och övertygelser. Och om du vill ta reda på vem du egentligen är, varför inte börja med frågan: Hur känner du dig?

Fyll i boken och bränn den efteråt ...

"This book has made me laugh and cry, filled me with joy, and inspired me." -TikTok user camrynbanks

Instagram, WhatsApp, Snapchat, TikTok, VSCO, YouTube...the world has not only become one giant feed, but also one giant confessional. Burn After Writing allows you to spend less time scrolling and more time self-reflecting. Through incisive questions and thought experiments, this journal helps you learn new things while letting others go. Imagine instead of publicly declaring your feelings for others, you privately declared your feelings for yourself?

Help your heart by turning off the comments and muting the accounts that drive you into jealousy for a few moments a night. Whether you are going through the ups and downs of growing up, or know a few young people who are, you will flourish by finding free expression--even if through a few tears!

Push your limits, reflect on your past, present, and future, and create a secret book that's about you, and just for you. This is not a diary, and there is no posting required. And when you're finished, toss it, hide it, or Burn After Writing.

This book critically explores the role of state schooling in the reproduction of social class inequalities in the UK. By uniquely combining critical ethnographic methods with participatory and visual research, it foregrounds the experiences and recollections of working class adults in relation to their past schooling.

Drawing upon her own lived experiences, Jones theorises the experiences of her participants using an analysis of Marxist, Bourdieusian and Freirean frameworks to uncover relations of power and illustrate how schooling has reduced individual agency and sustained lived inequalities. By creating space for a Visual Intervention within Critical Ethnography (VICE) alongside her analysis of class and society, Jones successfully illuminates that working class struggles are not permanent, and that agency can be activated. The book also addresses an important need by centring research from the lived educational experiences of the working class, and, in particular, working class adults. Making a unique theoretical and methodological contribution using an innovative combined methodology approach, the text ultimately highlights the potential of empowering disadvantaged individuals by raising critical consciousness.

Though it is focused on the experiences of adults, this book has important understandings for all sectors of education and will be of interest to academics, researchers and students interested in the sociology of education, research methods in education, social inequality, social class and education politics.
