Synopsis

First-Generation College Student Experiences of Intersecting Marginalities examines the intersecting relationships between a student's identity as a first-generation college student (FGCS) and other identities such as race, class, LGBTQ+, and spiritual identity. This book breaks new ground by examining highly diverse populations of FGCS, rather than predominantly White undergraduates at four-year public universities. First-Generation College Student Experiences of Intersecting Marginalities explores the intersections of identities that may be marginalized in different ways across a student's educational journey in research-grounded chapters that discuss real academic experiences of faculty, administrators, graduate students, and undergraduates.
