“First-generation student”: a helpful or stigmatising label in Dutch student life?
Summary
What happens when an etic category or label like “first-generation students” enters public discourse? In the Netherlands, public discussions of first-generation or first-in-family students and their predicaments have arisen in recent years.

But to what effect? And does it stigmatize or help?
