Bücher der Reihe Social Class in Education

This book explores how a working-class rural environment influences students' collegiate aspirations and access. Centered on a case study of the concepts of college knowledge and university jargon in rural public high schools, it offers analysis as well as strategies for helping students and counselors learn academic language.

Amplified Advantage investigates the value and impact of today's small liberal arts colleges on the students who attend them. It adds to our understanding of how class works, the impact of parents and families on social reproduction, and the consequences of attending a "good college" in an era of inequality.
