- W3208653882 abstract "Trails/Abstract Inequality is perhaps the most pressing social problem facing the United States. The severity of the problem is not in doubt. The theoretical work of (Piketty 2014) and empirical analysis of (Piketty and Saez 2014) underscores this urgency. Despite its centrality to our discipline, it is challenging to teach inequality. One way to do so as professors is to look more carefully at our own institutional back yard in two ways. Higher education is an important site for the production of inequality. The mechanism through which inequality is generated is an educational market. This exercise uses college admissions as a tool to explore income inequality in one class. Students may be knowledgeable about inequality from previous class coverage or the topic can be introduced in the class prior to the exercise. The students are asked to play the role of admissions decision-makers using the American Dream and meritocracy as conceptual starting points. As individuals and in groups they decide to accept and reject applicants under zero-sum conditions providing explanations for their decisions. Through class discussions their selections are identified and assessed. The admissions criteria are linked to a broader discussion of achievement and ascription. Time permitting or in a subsequent class, solutions to the admissions process can be considered." @default.
