Anthony Abraham Jack has made it his mission to study the shortfalls of our higher education system when it comes to disadvantaged students, a group he separates into two categories: the "Doubly Disadvantaged" and the "Privileged Poor”. Anthony is an Author, a Junior Fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows and an Assistant Professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education whose research and writing have been featured in The New York Times, The Atlantic, The New Yorker, The Chronicle of Higher Education, and NPR to name a few. In his book, The Privileged Poor: How Elite Colleges Are Failing Disadvantaged Students, he illustrates how "access isn't inclusion" and teaches us how to be more inclusive when it comes to higher education so that our colleges and universities can truly be places of opportunity. In this episode, Anthony’s conversation with Mungi highlights the Ubuntu lesson of ‘putting ourselves in the shoes of others’ to better understand their experiences, especially those that we wrongly assume are ‘the same as us’.
