As scholars and administrators have sharpened their focus on
higher education beyond trends in access and graduation rates for
underrepresented college students, there are growing calls for
understanding the experiential dimensions of college life. This
contributed book explores what actually happens on campus as
students from an increasingly wide range of backgrounds enroll
and share space. Chapter authors investigate how students of
differing socioeconomic backgrounds, genders, and racial/ethnic
groups navigate academic institutions alongside each other.
Rather than treat diversity as mere difference, this volume
provides dynamic analyses of how students come to experience both
power and marginality in their campus lives. Each chapter
comprises an empirical qualitative study from scholars engaged in
cutting-edge research about campus life. This exciting book
provides administrators and faculty new ways to think about
students’ vulnerabilities and strengths.
