There is a growing heterodoxy of sociological social mobility scholarship which offers an alternative to dominant research and policy paradigms. This article aims to develop this body of literature through qualitative case study analysis of two young women – one upwardly mobile, one socially stable – and their classed and gendered trajectories into (and potentially out of) the nursing profession. Bourdieu’s theory of practice provides a framework for understanding the temporality and the intersectionality of these trajectories. Data are drawn from a project on the experiences of final year BSc Nursing students in England during the 2020 COVID-19 outbreak. The narratives presented in this article are drawn from two interviews which included the production of a ‘lifeline’ to prompt the story of the participants’ lives so far, and their hopes for the future. Employing this tool as part of a case study approach offers an appreciation of the temporal ordering of a biography, as well as highlighting key life events in the context of an overall trajectory. The analysis highlights the workings of capital, habitus and field in shaping these young women’s lives, along with their investments in the illusio of higher education and experiences of symbolic violence. By exploring their past, present and imagined futures at a time of crisis, the analysis considers the temporality of practice and demonstrates how accumulated intersectional inequalities over the lifecourse shape how individuals can deal with disjuncture.

社会流动轨迹的时间性和交叉性：进入（和离开）护理的途径

社会学社会流动学术的异端观念日益多样化，这为主导研究和政策范式提供了另一种选择。本文旨在通过对两位年轻女性（一位向上流动，一位社会稳定）的定性案例研究分析来发展这一文献体系，以及她们进入（并可能退出）护理行业的阶级和性别轨迹。布迪厄的实践理论为理解这些轨迹的时间性和交叉性提供了一个框架。数据来自一个关于 2020 年 COVID-19 爆发期间英格兰护理学最后一年学生经历的项目。本文中介绍的叙述来自两次采访，其中包括制作一条“生命线”，以提示参与者迄今为止的生活故事，以及他们对未来的希望。使用该工具作为案例研究方法的一部分，可以了解传记的时间顺序，并在整体轨迹的背景下突出关键的生活事件。该分析强调了资本、习惯和领域在塑造这些年轻女性生活方面的运作，以及她们对高等教育幻觉和象征性暴力体验的投资。通过探索他们在危机时期的过去、现在和想象的未来，该分析考虑了实践的时间性，并展示了生命历程中积累的交叉不平等如何塑造个人如何处理分离。
