About the episode

Sociologist Anthony Abraham “Tony” Jack ’07 is the author of The Privileged Poor: How Elite Colleges Are Failing Disadvantaged Students. In this episode, he describes his own experience as a first-generation, low-income student at Amherst—and how he made it all the way to the front page of The New York Times and on to a Ph.D. and professorship at Harvard.
