In an article for TIME, new research co-authored by Professor Silvia Bellezza explores how participation in high-brow cultural events, such as the ballet, opera and symphony, is influenced more by social and cultural capital than by income alone. While economic means matter, the research finds that education, vocabulary, networks and a sense of belonging play an even stronger role in driving engagement. This recognition highlights Columbia Business School’s leadership in consumer behavior and the social dimensions of culture, underscoring how access and inclusion in cultural life are shaped by far more than money.
