[<a href="https://upsalon.univie.ac.at/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://upsalon.univie.ac.at/</a>]With this upcoming event we seek to address the seldomly discussed and often invisible classism encountered at academic institutions by students and academics from working-class families - those who are low-income or the first in their families to attend and attain higher education.Studies have shown that there are persistent social class achievement gaps that cannot be explained away solely pointing at differing academic preparation or resources. Rather than finding deficiencies with the students, there is a need to speak about the academic environment that just seems not set up for them.In conversation with Prof. Martin Kusch as well a lecturers Eva-Marie Aigner and Jonas Oßwald, combining theoretical input and personal experiences, we hope to explore and lay bare some of the unseen and compounding obstacles on the road to upward social mobility.Join us for drinks and in our discussion on:- cultural mismatch between home &amp; academia- financial instability and precarity in academia- combining work and study- an international comparison of classism &amp; social mobility in academia- coping strategies and building support for first-gen. scholarsPreliminary program:4.00pm: WELCOME4.20pm: BRIEF THEORETICAL INTRO TO CLASSISM &amp; ACADEMIA (Eva-Maria Aignerand Jonas Oßwald)4.40pm: —— Short Break ——4.50pm: OPEN CONVERSATION WITH MARTIN KUSCH, EVA-MARIA AIGNER AND JONASOßWALDThe evening is open ended, and all participants and contributors are welcome to stay and continue the conversation over dinner &amp; drinks!Since we only have 25 slots available, we would like to ask you to register!
