Read this Everyday Sociology blog entry called \u201cSocial Class and the College Experience at \u201cRenowned University\u201d:  <\/span>https:\/\/www.everydaysociologyblog.com\/2021\/05\/social-class-and-the-college-experience-at-renowned-university.html<\/a><\/p>\n

The article describes three kinds of students at an elite college: affluent students, the \u201cprivileged poor,\u201d and \u201cdoubly disadvantaged\u201d students. As you\u2019ll read, each of these groups comes to college with different combinations of economic, social, and cultural capital. These capitals appear to have significant impacts on their college success.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

First, read the article looking for examples of economic capital, social capital, and the three kinds of cultural capital described in Ch. 10 (objectified, institutional, and embodied).  If you want to go deeper, listen to this 15 minute interview with author Anthony Jack: https:\/\/www.wbur.org\/radioboston\/2019\/03\/07\/privileged-poor-elite-universities<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Then, answer the questions below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

1. <\/b>Compare and contrast the capitals available to wealthy, privileged poor, and doubly disadvantaged students at \u201cRenowned University.\u201d (Give specific examples from the article).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

2.<\/b> Think about the concept of \u201csocial closure.\u201d  Do the \u201cprivileged poor\u201d experience forms of social closure at university? In what ways?  How does their experience compare to that of the \u201cdoubly disadvantaged\u201d?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

3.<\/b> Do you think that attending this elite university will help \u201cdoubly disadvantaged\u201d students have a better \u201cfit\u201d in elite circles in their professional and post-college lives?  Why or why not?  (Give specific examples.)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
