Abstract	Bourdieu carved out a distinctive analytical niche for his reflexive sociology. His epistemological tool of field analysis, sometimes coupled with statistical correspondence analysis, is particularly powerful when deciphering the matrix of objective structures and subjective structures within social spaces (field) where agents vie for positions (capital), strategise dispositions (habitus), and negotiate practices. When grappling with the inner workings of the social world and the logic of practice within the social world, Bourdieu favours his field theory over network theory and considers correspondence analysis to be superior to regression analysis. In this paper, I argue that Bourdieu's canonical theory-laden analytical framework does not exclude other methodological approaches. Indeed, Bourdieu himself argues against 'methodological monotheism'. I therefore make an attempt to develop a Bourdieusian approach to Social Network Analysis (SNA) and regression analysis, despite Bourdieu's explicit rebuttal to these methodological schools. To this end, I first review Bourdieu's rebuttal to network analysis and regression analysis. I then tentatively incorporate SNA and regression into Bourdieu's analytical framework. This is followed by an example of using SNA and regression in Bourdieusian research conducted in a Chinese educational context. In this vein, I engage with a Bourdieusian rebuttal to Bourdieu's rebuttal. (As Provided).
