Jocks and Burnouts by Penelope Eckert
This ethnographic study of adolescent social structure in a Michigan high school provides a brilliant new perspective on class-based reactions between individual students and the school. Dr. Eckert shows how the school’s institutional environment fosters the formation of opposed class cultures in the student population, which in turn serve as a social tracking system.
“This insightful and original piece of research adds greatly to our understanding of stratification among adolescents” ―Contemporary Sociology
Penelope Eckert is Professor of Linguistics and Anthropology at Stanford University, where she has also directed the program in Feminist Studies.
