Interesting reading this the day after the article about #diversity v #equality. The #Tories have become skilled in making the #elite look more diverse, while - if anything - concentrating even more power in it. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jan/30/england-old-boys-club-zahawi-wealthy-network #ukpolitics #class #SocioeconomicStatus #networking #corruption

The problem of #diversity - and why it is not a proxy or a replacement for a focus on #equality: “a society in which 1% of the population controlled 90% of the resources could be [regarded as] just, provided that roughly 12% of the 1% were black, 12% were Latino, 50% were women and whatever the appropriate proportions were LGBT people”. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jan/29/focusing-on-diversity-means-we-miss-the-big-picture-its-class-that-shapes-our-lives #poverty #SocioeconomicStatus #class

Fitting in at University:

Longitudinal study (N = 829) finds first-generation university students conceal their social background more than continuing-generation students in order to fit in at university, but their identity concealment results in poorer well-being.

Lovely study addressing some limitations of two of our past studies on students’ social class and social integration at university (Rubin & Kelly, 2015; Rubin et al., 2016):

“Neither study tested the contribution of support stemming specifically from teachers [or] assessed students’ perceptions of whether they might be rejected by others specifically due to their SES”

In the before times, I spent 1500+ hours in 4 ICUs trying to understand inequality at the end of life.

Then a pandemic started, I wrote a dissertation, got really depressed, got better (mostly), and got a new job in a PCCM division.

With so much help, this is some of that work:
