Who is considered a great scholar? How is scholarship attained? How is greatnessnbsp;honored? And from what barometer do we assess this canon?/p
p
At POOR Magazine we have a very different notion of scholarship, who deserves it, hownbsp;it is attained and how it is used. We have established a new kind of scholarship, Thenbsp;Scholarship of Poverty. This scholarship has a new canon with new designations fornbsp;greatness. Survival itself, through extreme poverty and crisis, span data-scayt_word="houselessness" data-scaytid="1"houselessness/span, racism,nbsp;disability and welfare to name a few are what you need to qualify for poverty scholarship.nbsp;Conversely, a person who is formally educated with a Masters Degree and no povertynbsp;scholarship would be considered inexperienced and therefore should not be writing,nbsp;lecturing or legislating on issues that impact communities in poverty./p
p
The formally understood ldquo;signsrdquo; of scholarship such as writing, researching, critiquingnbsp;publishing, require an inherent privilege These signs afford people an ability to benbsp;integrated, heard and recognized. As span data-scayt_word="Trin" data-scaytid="3"Trin/span Min Ha writes, Writing, reading, thinkingnbsp;imagining speculating. These are luxury activities, so I am reminded, permitted to anbsp;privileged few whose idle hours of the day can be viewed otherwise than as a bowl ofnbsp;rice or a loaf bread less to share with the span data-scayt_word="family.”" data-scaytid="2"family.rdquo;/span/p
p
This was my truth, my struggle; I was a homeless child who had to drop out of school innbsp;the sixth grade to support my family. I did not have the time away from earning a loaf ofnbsp;bread, I did not have the paper, I did not have a computer, and more importantly I did notnbsp;even have the privilege of an organized life, as so many other people struggling withnbsp;homelessness, poverty, disability, racism etc. therefore these are the people who arenbsp;inherently denied a voice in the media, in the creation of legislation and academic scholarship. It is our goal at POOR Magazine to intentionally listen to, conceive of policynbsp;and reassign authorship to the folks on the front-line of the experience of poverty andnbsp;racism- the poverty scholars./p
