Class is increasingly recognized as an important factor shaping not only whether young adults attend college, but also their experiences as students. This is perhaps especially so at selective colleges, where the vast majority of students are from middle- and upper-income backgrounds. In this talk, sociologist Elizabeth M. Lee discusses the ways that managing class inequality is difficult for college administrations and individual students alike, focusing on the ways that class inequality is talked about--and not--on selective campuses.
