DE LA CRUZ TORRES-FRIAS, José. Educational inequality, power hierarchies and symbolic violence in the formation of educational researchers. Rev. iberoam. educ. super [online]. 2012, vol.3, n.8, pp.115-137. ISSN 2007-2872.

This article derives from a case study with a qualitative approach and studies the role of tutoring practices in the formation of scientific habitus for students in a Ph.D. in Education program in Mexico. The theoretical support includes the theory of symbolic fields of production of Pierre Bourdieu together with the approaches of theorists in the field of formation and formation for research. The argument put forward is the result of a cross-reading of cases on what happens in the private sphere of the relationship of tutoring and the research colloquiums, where educational inequality becomes evident as well as power hierarchies and symbolic violence in Ph.D. programs.
