Pierre Bourdieu, an internationally renowned sociologist whose critical (in both senses of the word) work on social and cultural capital has been invaluable to understanding educational processes, has died of cancer. Here are references to a few of his works that I have found valuable, as well as links below to articles in Le Monde and Libération.

-----------------------
Le sociologue Pierre Bourdieu est mort cette nuit à l'hôpital Saint-Antoine de Paris des suites d'un cancer. Il avait 71 ans. Titulaire de la chaire de sociologie au Collège de France, Bourdieu renouvela la sociologie française dans les années 1960 et lui donna une envergure qui dépassait les limites de la discipline. Ses notions de champ, d'habitus sont passées dans la langue courante des chercheurs.
