Legitimation Code Theory
“Legitimation Code Theory is a practical and empowering approach that embodies a mindset of possibility.”
— Karl Maton, Sociology of Possibility (2026)
Legitimation Code Theory - commonly known as LCT - is a powerful framework for revealing the basis of participation and achievement in different arenas of social life. LCT is being enacted by a growing international and multidisciplinary community of scholars, educators, and practitioners who use LCT to guide their research, teaching and professional practice.
