- Title
Georg Simmel's Spatial Sociology and Tutoring Centers as Cultural Spaces.
- Authors
CUNNINGHAM, JOSEPH
- Abstract
Student culture carries a variety of benefits for the student population, including better social integration and stronger academic performance. At a two-year commuter college, however, student culture is far more difficult to construct due to the travelling distance as well as the lack of conducive space for its generation. The sociology of spaces, as written about by German sociologist, Georg Simmel, provides four crucial characteristics of space, and these features can be appropriated by tutoring centers in order to serve as one of the few spaces at the commuter college where student culture can flourish.
