TIMELY: As the demographics of college applicants change, higher education will continue to see more and more first-generation students on campus. Despite the growth of this new majority, many four-year institutions are least prepared to serve the students who will make up a large population of their new admits. This book is particularly timely because it is centered on the voices, perspectives, and experiences of the very students that are least understood by these institutionsINNOVATIVE: The book also seeks to break down traditional disciplinary silos by presenting a curricular model that crosses theoretical and disciplinary divides. The premise of the Multicultural Voices Learning Community incorporates theoretical concepts from the learning community movement, the multicultural movement, and critical pedagogyBROAD APPEAL: The book appeals to a broad audience within higher education but has particular marketability to: Administrators and staff who design and administer First Year Experience programs on college campuses around the country; faculty and staff involved in teaching and research around learning communities, multicultural pedagogy and historically marginalized students; higher Education graduate programs that typically offer introductory classes about the college student experience and teaching and learning in post-secondary education; policy makers, administrators and researchers interested in access to college and retention issues for historically marginalized student groups; and scholars of minority education and immigration

Beschreibung

Offers 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 FG students and draws on their voices to demonstrate how their insights interface with what we, as educators, think we know about them.
