Access ain't Inclusion: Award-winning The Privileged Poor author Anthony Jack, PhD drops imperative knowledge on surviving college
Dr. Anthony Jack -- author of the critically acclaimed, award-winning book The Privileged Poor -- is back with a new book. Class Dismissed is out on Aug. 13, 2024. The follow up to his breakout success first book, he continues to shed light on a subject area that litte research had existed for: how elite colleges, with all their promises of support and their huge endowments, were failing disadvantaged students. He didn't just focus on financial reasons, though; Dr. Jack's work goes deeper, looking at many social, cultural, and structural aspects, some of which, from the perspective of the institutions, are obliviously gatekeeping. This time he discusses matters from a class perspective as well.
"It's like inviting a vegan to a southern BBQ," Dr. Jack said, making an incredibly poignant analogy to illustrate just how welcoming these institutions claim to be, yet just how ill-prepared they actually are for those whom they are welcoming.
If you are:
*Sending a child to college this summer/fall
*Doing DEI work and wondering what can make and not make a sense of BELONGING
*Living life or thinking about life at an elite university or an elite independent/private K-12 school
*A teacher/educator who wants to better know your students
*A education administrator who wants to better lead
*A student yourself entering college who wants to not only survive but thrive
*Someone not filthy rich who wants to learn some tips and advantages
*Someone who IS filthy rich and likes learning about college life for everyone
*A compassionate citizen who seeks to expand knowledge
then this episode is for you!
