Reihe: Rethinking Higher Education Through the Strengths and Insights of First-Generation College Students

This book explores how first-generation college students negotiate the culture of higher education through an embrace of their multiple identities. Featuring contributors with multiple experiences and identities, this volume attempts to shed light on the creative approaches first-generation students use to succeed in college as well as help broaden the vision of the institutions they choose to call their intellectual home. In doing so, this text argues that higher education institutions can and should factor the experiences and insights of first-generation students into the ongoing process of revitalizing their mission. This resource will appeal to scholars, researchers, and upper-level students with interests in higher education, cultural studies, philosophy of education, decolonial studies, and social mobility.
