Reviews
"This is a brilliant, engaging and well-written book on first-generation, mostly low-income college students which offers creative suggestions regarding how to reorganize the academy to include learning communities, partnerships between academic divisions and student services, multicultural competence training, and creative pedagogy to make the academy more welcoming and inclusive." - Joseph L. White, Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Psychiatry, University of California, Irvine "Jehangir deftly weaves commentary about what it means to conceive of education as a public good. At the center of the book are students' voices, providing timely and compelling descriptions of effective pedagogical practice. Their questions - raised several years after their learning community experiences - point to needed improvement in colleges. Jehangir's conclusions provide clear approaches for campus teams to make their institutions work better for first generation, low-income students." - Emily Lardner, Co-Director of the Washington Center for Improving Undergraduate Education, The Evergreen State College, "This is a brilliant, engaging, and well-written book on first-generation, mostly low-income college students, which offers creative suggestions regarding how to reorganize the academy to include learning communities, partnerships between academic divisions and student services, multicultural competence training, and creative pedagogy to make the academy more welcoming and inclusive." - Joseph L.

Jehangir's model . . . may benefit a a large number of students who enter twenty-first century North American classrooms." - Teaching Theology and Religion

Synopsis
Offering readers a rich understanding of the experience of students who are first in their family to attend college, this book is a theoretically informed study of the lived experience of first-generation students and draws on their voices to show how their insights are juxtaposed with and affect what we, as educators, think we know about them., Higher Education and First-Generation Students offers a rich understanding of the experience of students who are the first in their families to attend college.

This book is a theoretically informed study of the lived experience of FG students and draws on their voices to demonstrate how their insights interface with what we, as educators, think we know about them., Offers readers a rich understanding of the experience of students who are first in their family to attend college.
