“Student Loans, Families, and the Unequal Transition to Adulthood”

Hosted by Arielle Kuperberg (University of North Carolina-Greensboro) and Joan Maya Manzelis (Rutgers University-Camden)

Student loans and families are strongly intertwined, helping to shape and reproduce inequalities in young adulthood. Family backgrounds, resources, and support influence whether students take on loans for college; after graduation, loans affect romantic relationships, marriage and childbearing rates. Students and graduates have complex feelings about accepting help from their families, which can shape their sense of adulthood.

Hear Families as They Really Are authors Arielle Kuperberg (University of North Carolina-Greensboro) and Joan Maya Manzelis (Rutgers University-Camden) for an interactive discussion on their ongoing study on loans and young adulthood.
