About the book
First-Generation College Student Experiences of Intersecting Marginalities examines the intersecting relationships between a student’s identity as a first-generation college student (FGCS) and other identities such as race, class, LGBTQ+, and spiritual identity. This book breaks new ground by examining highly diverse populations of FGCS, rather than predominantly White undergraduates at four-year public universities. First-Generation College Student Experiences of Intersecting Marginalities explores the intersections of identities that may be marginalized in different ways across a student’s educational journey in research-grounded chapters that discuss real academic experiences of faculty, administrators, graduate students, and undergraduates.
Advance Praise for
First-Generation College Student
Experiences of Intersecting Marginalities
“This book is an important contribution to more than one field of inquiry: working-class studies, student affairs, and campus diversity. The essays complicate and enrich our understanding of who the first-gen student actually is, just as first-gen students also complicate and enrich our nation’s campuses. The book promises to help colleges and universities better understand first-gen students and support them in meaningful, effective ways, moving beyond discussion of ‘access’ alone and toward retention and graduation. The book is a valuable addition to the literature driving change to make higher education both more welcoming and more responsive to the needs and aspirations of all students.”
—Carolyn Leste Law, Thesis/Dissertation Advisor at Northern Illinois University and coeditor of This Fine Place So Far from Home: Voices of Academics from the Working Class
“Contributors to this volume reveal how demographics such as race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation intersect with first-generation college students, the book’s unifying theme, to hinder marginalized groups before, during, and after graduation. These authors’ writings demonstrate why every institution of higher education should sponsor an organization that addresses the disparate needs of its first-generation students.”
—Ken Oldfield, Emeritus Professor of Public Administration at the University of Illinois at Springfield
“The essays in this collection offer vivid and at times deeply moving insights into the class dynamics and intersectional politics of U.S. universities. In a corporatized culture that likes to talk a lot about the ‘student experience,’ the book should be read by any faculty, administrators and support workers who want to meaningfully understand the different life stories and dispositions that students bring to campus.”
—Sean Phelan, Associate Professor at Massey University (New Zealand)
