Title: Who gets to be smart :privilege, power and knowledge /Bri Lee. Author: Lee, Bri,(author.). Location: 379.26 LEE Subject: Elite (Social sciences) Intellectuals. Educational equalization. Educational choice. Educational equalization. Elite (Social sciences) Intellectuals. Privilege (Social psychology) Social stratification. Power (Social sciences) Education -- Social aspects. Knowledge, Sociology of. Equality -- Social aspects. Privilege (Social psychology) Social stratification -- Australia. ISBN: 9781760879808 1760879800 Collation: 288 pages ; 24 cm. Summary Note: "In 2018, Bri Lee's brilliant young friend Damian is named a Rhodes Scholar, an apex of academic achievement. When she goes to visit him and takes a tour of Oxford and Rhodes House, she begins questioning her belief in a system she has previously revered, as she learns the truth behind what Virginia Woolf described almost a century earlier as the 'stream of gold and silver' that flows through elite institutions and dictates decisions about who deserves to be educated there. The question that forms in her mind drives the following two years of conversations and investigations: who gets to be smart? Interrogating the adage 'knowledge is power', and calling institutional prejudice to account, Bri once again dives into her own privilege and presumptions to bring us the stark and confronting results. Far from offering any 'equality of opportunity', Australia's education system exacerbates social stratification." - Back cover.
