In this article, Kirsten Hextrum considers institutional avenues that limit upward mobility opportunities by revealing a hidden curriculum of athletic recruiting that favors students from privileged backgrounds. The study's data center on forty-seven life history interviews with National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I athletes from an athletically and academically prestigious university. Hextrum's findings reveal three phases of a hidden curriculum—socialization, covert selection, and overt selection—that secure greater access to elite colleges for White middle-class communities via athletic participation. In this case, social reproduction required active effort by both representatives of higher education and representatives of White middle-class communities to protect existing class and race relations.

高校运动招生隐性课程

在本文中，Kirsten Hextrum通过揭示一种隐蔽的体育招募课程来限制向上流动机会的体制途径，这些课程有利于特权背景的学生。该研究的数据中心接受了来自一所享有体育和学术声誉的大学的美国大学体育协会第一分部运动员的47次生活史访谈。Hextrum的发现揭示了隐藏课程的三个阶段-社会化，秘密选择和公开选择-通过运动参与确保白人中产阶级社区有更多机会进入精英大学。在这种情况下，社会再生产需要高等教育代表和白人中产阶级社区代表积极努力，以保护现有的阶级和种族关系。
