Learn more about social class and socioeconomic status, various forms of capital, class identities, and implications in student affairs. This program is sponsored by Socioeconomic and Class Issues in Higher Education Knowledge Community leadership team members.

This program offers participants an overview of class identity and its corresponding forms of capital (Bourdieu, 1986; Yosso, 2005). The presenters offer information from research and literature while also allowing participants to reflect on and assess how class identity does and might show up in higher education and student affairs. The three content categories of the session include: 1) Defining Class, 2) Types of Capital, 3) Interactions Between Class Identity and Student Affairs.
