Description

A forum for those interested in social class on campus. This group is primarily focused on individual social class, individual social class transitions, and the campus environments and experiences that affect student social class. Issues arising from access campuses that are middle classing institutions for the first generation students, and issues arising from reproducing campuses that reproduce social class through selection and education.

Post an introductory message if you would like. It is hard to sit in a circle and introduce ourselves, so we do the best we can in the virtual circle. What interests you in social class on campus? What do you thing about social class? What is your story around social class?

The sociology of social class on campus is also of interest.
