Laura T. Hamilton is Associate Professor of Sociology at UC Merced, author of Parenting to a Degree: How Family Matters for College Women’s Success, and co-author of Paying for the Party: How College Maintains Inequality. In this presentation, she will discuss her research of the role of college parents—frequently referred to as “helicopters”. Professor Hamilton followed the families of 41 young women as they moved through a public flagship. She interviewed the women every year for five years, asking about parental relationships and support, and interviewed both their mothers and fathers as women neared graduation.
