Set against the backdrop of democratization, increased opportunity,
and access, income-based gaps in college entry, persistence, and
graduation continue to grow, underlining a deep contradiction
within American higher education. In other words, despite the
well-intended, now mature process of democratization, the
postsecondary system is still charged with high levels of
inequality. In the interest of uncovering the mechanisms through
which democratization, as currently conceived, preserves and
perpetuates inequality within the system of higher education, this
book reconsiders the role of social class in the production and
dissemination of knowledge, the valuation of cultural capital, and
the reproduction of social inequalities. Drawing upon the author's
year-long qualitative research study within one "democratized"
institution of higher education and its associated art museum,
Access to Inequality explores the vestiges of an exclusionary
history within higher education and the art world-two related
contexts that have arguably failed to adequately respond to the
public's call to democratize.
