Research Blog Post #1: Topic Idea

How does class and social status play a role in higher education in other countries whether it be their experience while in college or how they go about funding it? How does this compare to the influence of class and social status on many college students here in the U.S.?

  1. You definitely could look into this issue. I would be interested in your second post on "scouting the territory."

    If you want to examine the international scene, you might consider the way that the privatization of public higher education is spreading to other countries, including Europe. However, education in Europe has never been especially egalitarian -- as illustrated by Pierre Bourdieu's "The Inheritors" about the advantages students with inheritance and social capital have over poorer students.
