Volumes of Academic Success - Joanna Sikora
Wednesday 9 June 2010
ANU Lecturer, Dr Joanna Sikora, contributed to a study that was published recently in the journal Research in Social Stratification and Mobility - "Family Scholarly Culture and Educational Success: Books and Schooling in 27 Nations".
Houses full of books are clear indicators of the scholarly culture that grounds academic progress and can compensate for social disadvantage in some families according to a new study. (Quote from The Australian, May 26 2010).
