The Hidden Curriculum, Applied to Cultural Capital

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

The hidden curriculum taught at Soc 0515 rewards students already carrying dominant cultural capital, so its lessons land differently by a student's starting position.

Show

A student fluent in the dominant culture's unstated expectations reads them as ordinary; an outsider must learn them as an extra subject.

Watch for

This entry applies Soc 0515's mechanism to cultural capital; it does not redefine the hidden curriculum.
