Interview: “No place like home?”

No place like home?

My Summer ‘23 feature article for Contexts uses the stories of two undergraduates, Ashley (working class) and Noah (upper-middle-class), to illustrate how young adults from different social class backgrounds understood and experienced parental support amid COVID-19 campus closures. I recently spoke with Contexts’ Rose Xueqing Zhang about the questions that inspired this project and the insights I hope readers will take away from these students’ stories.
