Module 1 - Social Stratification

This module includes a number of articles related to social stratification, especially in higher education.  For this module, I had to read, and provide a response and reflection to the following articles.  To read my response, click on the my response link at the end of each citation.  Unfortunately, I cannot provide the articles due to copyright restrictions.  You can find most of these articles in JSTOR, however.
