P.S. 4: Revisiting Malcolm Gladwell's "Outliers"
“We want to think about success as a word to describe ourselves, our own progress. But it’s not really people who are successful, it’s the systems around us.”
Fredlove Deshommes is a Miseducation student reporter from Brooklyn.
In a recent episode of his podcast Revisionist History, Malcolm Gladwell revisited one of the key concepts from his hit book Outliers. It deals with privilege in education, just not in the ways you typically hear about it. The story really got us thinking, and so we thought we’d share it with you.
This week, we’re airing parts of “Outliers, Revisited” from Revisionist History. Then, stick around for a Q&A between our student reporter Fredlove Deshommes and two of the shows producers, Eloise Lynton and Lee Mengistu.
