Title:A social capital framework for the study of institutional agents & their role in the empowerment of low-status students & youth
Source:http://cue.usc.edu/tools/Social_Capital%2C_Inst...
Date:2010
Organization:Center for Urban Education
Short Description:This article builds on a sociological account of working-class minority youth development and differential access to social capital—defined in terms of key resources and support provided by institutional agents.
Annotation:This article builds on a sociological account of working-class minority youth development and differential access to social capital—defined in terms of key resources and support provided by institutional agents. The article elaborates on the concept of institutional agents—specifically, high-status, non-kin, agents who occupy relatively high positions in the multiple dimensional stratification system, and who are well positioned to provide key forms of social and institutional support. New to this body of work is how access to resources and institutional support—among low-status students and youth--are significantly dependent upon the network characteristics, and network-related capacities, motivations, and inclinations of resource-ful institutional agents participating in the social universe of these youth.
