Autorenporträt
Janel E. Benson is Associate Professor of Sociology at Colgate University. Her research investigates sources of risk and resiliency in the transition from early adolescence to young adulthood to understand how contexts of development in early life shape identity, health, and social mobility. As a first-generation student, she is dedicated to mentoring other students who are first in their families to attend college through the A Better Chance program in Fayetteville-Manlius. Elizabeth M. Lee is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Saint Joseph's University. Her research examines class inequality, primarily within higher education settings. Much of her research focuses on how low-income, first-generation, and/or working-class (LIFGWC) college students at selective campuses manage class inequality among their peers through day to day interactions and relationships. Other work focuses on faculty members from LIFGWC backgrounds and on how students interact with their campus structures.
