Jessica McCrory Calarco is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Indiana University.
Winner of the 2019 North Central Sociological Association's Scholarly Achievement Award Persistent income inequality in American schools frustrates teachers, principals, parents and policymakers who want to help all children succeed. By revealing the unintended effects of seemingly ordinary exchanges between students and teachers in everyday classrooms, Jessica Calarco deepens our understanding of the challenges we face in creating more equitable outcomes. -Sara Goldrick-Rab, Temple University Jessica Calarco's vivid portrayals of classroom life demonstrate that class cultures are as much about strategies as they are about values. Negotiating Opportunities will take its place alongside the very best studies of how social class works. -Aaron M. Pallas, Teachers College, Columbia University Vividly written, and offering compelling details, Calarco highlights how working-class children and parents don't want to bother teachers, while middle-class parents coach their children to pester educators for assistance, attention, and accommodation. Not only is this path-breaking book of interest to sociologists, but every educator and parent should read it. -Annette Lareau, University of Pennsylvania
