We see nepo babies across Hollywood blockbuster films. Yet, beyond Hollywood, other questions arise: how do we see the myth of meritocracy play out in our own lives? Who is deserving of advantageous opportunities? From the red carpet to institutions of higher education, we will discuss hidden paths to achievement. Success operates differently for people depending on their social capital. Come unpack these pathways to success with peers.
Food will be provided to participants.
