Abstract
Pop culture is a lens through which practitioners can reflect on diverse student experiences in higher education to deepen our understanding of student's identities. By applying student development theories to film and television, student affairs practitioners can examine case studies and narrative examples of the ways that theory applies to the student experience. This paper will analyze Aaron Sorkin’s Oscar-winning 2010 film The Social Network and an episode of the HBO series High Maintenance, to investigate the portrayal of gender, race, class, and religious identities in college students.
