This edited volume brings together a new materialist approach to understanding the various legacies and controls being exercised through school uniforms. Through examining school uniform policies, the editors and their authors highlight the embodied choices that contribute to a socio-materialist understanding of democracy and social justice. Uniform policy plays a distinct role in setting the culture of compulsory school education and as such it constitutes a set of under-theorised school practices. This work thus brings together critical perspectives from education, sociology, cultural and postcolonial studies within an overarching analysis of how uniform imposes performances that have a formative effect on young people's identities and economic positionality.

Julie Ovington is a Lecturer and Programme Leader at the University of the West of Scotland in the School of Education and Social Sciences. This work follows on from a career in family support within communities and in Nursery and Infant schools. Julie completed her doctorate at Northumbria University in 2019. Her thesis explored the affect of school readiness in the classroom based on the lived experiences of two-year-old children. The study drew on a range of theories and philosophies including materialism and posthumanism. She continues to research in early education and what it means to be an academic in creative ways.
