THE FRAMING OF PRIVILEGE AND POWER IN ACADEMIA: A REVIEW OF JASON BRENNAN’S GOOD WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT: HOW TO SUCCEED IN ACADEMIA

Written by: Rachel Yoho

Introduction: Jason Brennan’s Good Work if You Can Get It: How to Succeed in Academia paints a grim picture of academia, the job market, and the future for graduate students. While this likely is accurate, what may be more interesting about the book is how it portrays a compelling case study in positionality and privilege in the ivory tower.
