Inside the College Gates - How Class and Culture Matter in Higher Education

Informationen zum Autor Jenny M. Stuber is associate professor of sociology at the University of North Florida.  Klappentext This book is intended to bring greater nuance to the study of inequality and higher education. Rather than focusing on human capital and students' experiences inside the classroom, the author highlights the ways in which the experiential core of college life-the social and extra-curricular worlds of higher education-operates as a setting in which social class inequalities manifest and get reproduced.
