More Details

Summary:

This book focuses on first-generation graduate students in the US and the graduate or post-baccalaureate programs that house and educate these students. The voices in this book, including first-generation graduate students, address the phenomena of graduate students experiences and related university practices, with the practices connected to traditional academic and Western values and to academic and neoliberal institutional logics. First-generation graduate students testimonies serve as the foundation of the analysis of students pathways to graduate school and their experiences within graduate school. The conditions for first-generation graduate students in their programs require remedies that will facilitate student well-being, peer community attachment, and persistence, and will educate and train students for achievement in graduate school and for employment after graduate school. John S. Levin is Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of California, Riverside, USA. He has worked as a faculty member and administrator in community colleges and universities in both Canada and the US. His work has included studies of community colleges, higher education management and governance, students of color, and nontraditional students and faculty.
