Poverty as Social Exclusion: Relational Dimensions of Social Class Stratification
Runtime - 48 minutes
 
Laura Smith, Ph.D. presents at the 2010 Teachers College Annual Winter Roundtable at Columbia University.
 
If there is any segment of society that should be concerned with the impact of classism and poverty, it is those within the "helping professions" - people who have built their careers around understanding and facilitating human emotional well-being. In her engaging address, Dr. Smith helps re-define social class and provides suggestions of promising new approaches to serving poor communities that go beyond remediation, sympathy, and charity.
