Abstract
For Garry Stevens, the frequent absence of working-class voices in architectural discourse is because academia conserves and preserves the culture of an elite society. 1 Architectural schools for Stevens do not recognize how the social process of selection favors students from a privileged background, doing so in many ways: The disadvantaged eliminate themselves from architectural education. Architecture schools consecrate privilege by ignoring it. Schools accept the ideology of giftedness. Schools underestimate their inculcation function. The studio system favors the cultivated habitus. The schools favor those who favor them. 2
