具体描述

Anthony Abraham Jack, a native of Miami, received a scholarship to attend Gulliver Preparatory School, an elite private high school in South Florida. He went on to receive degrees from Amherst College and Harvard University. He is currently a Junior Fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows, an Assistant Professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, and the Shutzer Assistant Professor at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.

Getting in is only half the battle. The Privileged Poor reveals how―and why―disadvantaged students struggle at elite colleges, and explains what schools can do differently if these students are to thrive.

The Ivy League looks different than it used to. College presidents and deans of admission have opened their doors―and their coffers―to support a more diverse student body. But is it enough just to admit these students? In The Privileged Poor, Anthony Jack reveals that the struggles of less privileged students continue long after they’ve arrived on campus. Admission, they quickly learn, is not the same as acceptance. This bracing and necessary book documents how university policies and cultures can exacerbate preexisting inequalities and reveals why these policies hit some students harder than others.

Despite their lofty aspirations, top colleges hedge their bets by recruiting their new diversity largely from the same old sources, admitting scores of lower-income black, Latino, and white undergraduates from elite private high schools like Exeter and Andover. These students approach campus life very differently from students who attended local, and typically troubled, public high schools and are often left to flounder on their own. Drawing on interviews with dozens of undergraduates at one of America’s most famous colleges and on his own experiences as one of the privileged poor, Jack describes the lives poor students bring with them and shows how powerfully background affects their chances of success.

If we truly want our top colleges to be engines of opportunity, university policies and campus cultures will have to change. Jack provides concrete advice to help schools reduce these hidden disadvantages―advice we cannot afford to ignore.

##《寒门子弟上大学》The Privileged Poor: How Elite Colleges Are Failing Disadvantaged Students 早上写完毕设论文的一部分,中午不务正业但迫不及待地看起了这本书。这本书让我自然而然地想起了《优秀的绵羊》,同样是对于精英大学教育的批判只不过方面不同,同样文字吸引我...

##接着paying for the party 往后写了一下好学校里的穷学生,一种比较幸运,通过各种项目在寄宿学校积累过一轮人力和文化资本,一种实惨,费劲来了以后各种文化冲击。有的时候觉得社会生活太复杂了,即使是穷人也会被同一个社会的不同项目给分裂成几个小群体,产生不一样的体验(作者顺嘴提了一下群体之间对于同一件事不同的道德界限)。观察一下,其实在留学生里也常见,只不过parachute kids吸引了更多的媒体注意力。终于,美国人终于意识到diversity不仅仅是肤色意义上的representative,也能注意到阶级伤害是真实的存在了。

##论文看多了不是很习惯这种目录结构了,标题上直接引用了participator的话,是吸引人的,但是看不出学术脉络会感到无所适从。以不平等视角进入精英大学,探讨穷人困境的研究可谓卷帙浩繁,the Poor的心酸艰难基本上都能想象得到。这本比较有创新的地方在于,按照高中学校的定位和与大学接轨的程度从中划分出了两个类别:PP(Privileged Poor)和DD(Doubly Disadvantage),甚至Uni也在官方话语中承认并使用这两个概念。访谈对象很完备,学生、管理者和教授都涉及到,看到DD对于Office hour的畏惧特别有共鸣,可能直到现在我都还是觉得那是一种打扰,心理负担很重。看完学校的勤工助学项目、带有歧视的文化援助项目、春假餐厅关门实在是大跌眼镜,震惊。

本应很快读完的一本书 这次战线拉的有点长 关于这本寒门子弟上大学这本书,是有一天刷到自己比较欣赏的一位知识博主推荐了这本书,博主在过程中有共情的阐述当年自己有机会做交换去到了哈佛大学,在这样顶尖的学习殿堂,遇到了非常多优秀的精英群体,自己虽出身在国内的中产阶...

##看完后发现我是双重贫困生,我是一路从农村小学到农村高中上来的,只不过我读的不是精英大学。双重贫困生体现在:1:office hours 期间不会去寻找老师,除非学业迫不得已。我读大学期间我们也有office hours,然而我一次都没有去过,尽管我学习还可以。 我和书里的双重贫困生一...
