Philadelphia Education System, Boston Consulting Group School Closures
Allison McDowell describes her entry into research through local activism in the Philadelphia school system. In 2013, the Boston Consulting Group facilitated the closure of 23 schools and the layoff of 3,000 teachers. This event served as a catalyst for McDowell to investigate the outside special interests and foundations driving privatization efforts.
