Question

Identify the effects that shamus khan's class background might have had on his research at st. Paul's, an exclusive private boarding school.

Answer 1

Shamus Khan is a renowned sociologist with research interests on inequality and elites. He comes from an economically privileged immigrant family and attended St. Paul's school in Concord, New hampshire, where he graduated in 1996. Since he had a comfortable background and studied at that same institution, he was already familiar with the setting he would encounter during his reasearch in St. Paul's, which is stated in his book "Privilege : The Making of an Adolescent Elite at St. Paul's School".  

Answer 2

Shamus Khan comes from an “economically privileged” immigrant family and he attended ‘St. Paul’s School’. Shamus had a comfortable background and he studied at that ‘same institution’ due to which he was familiar with the institute’s setting which he would come across during the research.

Further Explanation:

Shamus Khan is a famous sociologist, who returned to his ‘elite boarding school’ because he wanted to study and to know how ‘elite institutions’ reproduce “power” and “control” in society. Shamus noticed a change from “enlightenment” to “privilege” which glorifies an individual achievement which he discussed in his book “Privilege: The Making of Adolescent Elite at St. Paul’s School”.

In his book, he has talked about “lessons of Privilege”, which are as follows:

1. Hierarchies are like ladders and not like ceilings. They are natural.
2. An individual experiences matter rather than his ‘innate’ or ‘inherited’ qualities.
3. Privileges are meant to be at ‘ease’, no matter what the ‘context’ is.
