What happens to academically talented but economically challenged "first-gen" students when they arrive on campus? Class markers aren't always visible from a distance, but socioeconomic differences permeate campus life-and the inner experiences of students-in real and sometimes unexpected ways. In Class and Campus Life, Elizabeth M. Lee shows how class differences are enacted and negotiated by students, faculty, and administrators at an elite liberal arts college for women located in the Northeast.Using material from two years of fieldwork and more than 140 interviews with students, faculty, administrators, and alumnae at the pseudonymous Linden College, Lee adds depth to our understanding of inequality in higher education. An essential part of her analysis is to illuminate the ways in which the students' and the college's practices interact, rather than evaluating them separately, as seemingly unrelated spheres. She also analyzes underlying moral judgments brought to light through cultural connotations of merit, hard work by individuals, and making it on your own that permeate American higher education. Using students' own descriptions and understandings of their experiences to illustrate the complexity of these issues, Lee shows how the lived experience of socioeconomic difference is often defined in moral, as well as economic, terms, and that tensions, often unspoken, undermine students' senses of belonging. 606 $aWomen college students$zUnited States$xSocial conditions 606 $aStudents with social disabilities$xEducation (Higher)$zUnited States 606 $aElite (Social sciences)$xEducation (Higher)$zUnited States 606 $aClass consciousness$zUnited States 606 $aWomen's colleges$zUnited States 606 $aIntercultural communication$zUnited States 606 $aCollege environment$zUnited States 606 $aEducational sociology$zUnited States$vCross-cultural studies 615 0$aWomen college students$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aStudents with social disabilities$xEducation (Higher) 615 0$aElite (Social sciences)$xEducation (Higher) 615 0$aClass consciousness 615 0$aWomen's colleges 615 0$aIntercultural communication 615 0$aCollege environment 615 0$aEducational sociology 676 $a378.0082 700 $aLee$b Elizabeth M.$f1974-$01691782 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821204703321 996 $aClass and campus life$94068423 997 $aUNINA
