Social Action Groups addressing Class and Classism
Classism
You may notice that there are no groups on Dickinson's campus that deal directly with issues of class and/or classism. However, you should note that many official and un-official social action groups do in fact confront issues of class and classism in an indirect way. For example, the group English As A Second Language tends to help youths that are, due to our socio-economic society, in lower classes. There are also numerous clubs and organizations that plan food drives throughout the year that give food to those who cannot afford food. These groups of people are invariably in lower classes. Furthermore, groups like Sustained Dialogue engage in discussions that oftentimes start out racial end up being about class and/or classism. However, there is an apparent lack of social action groups dedicated to this topic. To hear what students said about this discrepency see here.
