In what ways might multiple forces of social difference haunt quantitative measurements of ability such as the SAT? Building on new materialist philosophy, Inheriting Possibility rethinks methods of quantification and theories of social reproduction in education, demonstrating that test performance results and parenting practices convey the impact of materially and historically contingent patterns of differential possibility.Ezekiel J. Dixon-RomÁn explores the dualism of nature and culture that has undergirded theories of inheritance, social reproduction, and human learning and development.
