Beskrivning

The Working-Class Student in Higher Education: Addressing a Class-Based Understanding challenges understandings of social class and education by asking how community college faculty perceive working-class students and how that perception reflects class-based assumptions in higher education. Faculty may recognize social class, but how it is experienced within higher education is often “lost in translation,” particularly when faculty members are interacting with a differently classed student population. Recommended for scholars of education, pedagogy, and sociology.

For the past 25 years, scholars have focused discussions of social class in higher education on the experiences of working-class academics and the needs of working-class students. The Working-Class Student in Higher Education offers an important shift in focus, examining how cultural assumptions about class shape the way faculty—especially the community college faculty who teach the majority of undergraduates from the working class—view and treat their students.
