Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Bridging the Divide, Jack Metzgar attempts to determine the differences between working-class and middle-class cultures in the United States. Drawing on a wide range of multidisciplinary sources, Metzgar writes as a now middle-class professional with a working-class upbringing, explaining the various ways the two cultures conflict and complement each other, illustrated by his own lived experiences. Set in a historical framework that reflects on how both class cultures developed, adapted, and survived through decades of historical circumstances, Metzgar challenges professional middle-class views of both the working-class and themselves. In the end, he argues for the creation of a cross-class coalition of what he calls "standard-issue professionals" with both hard-living and settled-living working people and outlines some policies that could help promote such a unification if the two groups had a better understanding of their differences and how to use those differences to their advantage. Bridging the Divide mixes personal stories and theoretical concepts to give us a compelling look inside the current complex position of the working-class in American culture and a view of what it could be in the future.

  • Publisher : Harvard University Press
  • Release : 2019-03-01
  • ISBN : 0674239660

Download or read book The Privileged Poor written by Anthony Abraham Jack and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2019-03-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An NPR Favorite Book of the Year “Breaks new ground on social and educational questions of great import.” —Washington Post “An essential work, humane and candid, that challenges and expands our understanding of the lives of contemporary college students.” —Paul Tough, author of Helping Children Succeed “Eye-opening...Brings home the pain and reality of on-campus poverty and puts the blame squarely on elite institutions.” —Washington Post “Jack’s investigation redirects attention from the matter of access to the matter of inclusion...His book challenges universities to support the diversity they indulge in advertising.” —New Yorker 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 this bracing exposé, Anthony Jack shows that many students’ struggles continue long after they’ve settled in their dorms. Admission, they quickly learn, is not the same as acceptance. This powerfully argued book documents how university policies and campus culture can exacerbate preexisting inequalities and reveals why some students are harder hit than others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ibarra (academic affairs, U. of Wisconsin-Madison) argues for a paradigm shift in academia.

Book Career Paths of Mexican Americans in Higher Education

Download or read book Career Paths of Mexican Americans in Higher Education written by Romy Ledesma-Rivera and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study's purpose was to identify the existence of upward mobility patterns of Mexican American upper-level academic administrators and to discover factors related to their upward mobility. Objectives were to determine the presence of upward mobility patterns, identify factors related to upward mobility processes, determine administrators' perceptions regarding factors leading to upward mobility, and determine if discrepancies existed between actual progression and perceived requirements for upward mobility. Data were obtained from questionnaires sent to 40 individuals identified by their institutions as Mexican American upper-level administrators. Responses were coded for SAS System computer analysis yielding frequency distributions and other descriptive statistics. Cohen and March's (1974) normative career ladder and Salimbene's (1982) variations to this norm were selected as the models against which the career data would be compared. Respondents were grouped by type of institution, current position, type of career path, and movement into and out of higher education. A profile was developed giving several types of information. Profile components were salary, tenure, rank, work schedule, preparation and education, mentors, membership in organizations, gender, age, height, weight, eye color, hair color, skin hue, voice timbre, religion, political affiliation, ethnic label, "home"/birth states and cities, "brand-new" positions, and job-change plans. The results of the research indicated that 93% of the respondents did not follow the normative career ladder and that their variations were similar to those in Salimbene's model. For all respondents, 55% had been a faculty member, 15% had been a department head, 45% had been a director, and 70% had been a dean. It was found that three variables (hometown, color of skin, and field of study) were related to a higher job level and that, in general, the majority of the factors perceived as necessary for upward progression were possessed by most of the respondents. Conclusions were drawn from the findings of the study, and recommendations for further study were made
