ReviewsThis exciting new text is a welcomed addition to the higher education landscape and offers a critical, and deeply important, examination of the intersectional nature of the first-generation college student identity. As we attempt to rid the first-generation space of misconceptions and deficit-based approaches, this book thoughtfully considers the importance of understanding how multiple identities shape the college-going experience. Moreover, the intersectional nature of the first-generation identity must be central in scholarship and service-provision as we welcome a shifting demographic into higher education. The premise that we must consider and reconsider all that we know and do not know about first-generation students is a consequential and necessary reminder for us all., "A large body of literature has demonstrated that first-generation college students face more challenges than their peers in accessing, persisting in earning, and completing degrees. Importantly, these challenges vary on the basis of social class, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual identity, and citizenship status. However, the literature too often treats first-generation college students as a monolith whose needs can be met in a one-size-fits-all approach. Enter At the Intersection: Understanding and Supporting First-Generation Students , edited by Robert Longwell-Grice and Hope Longwell-Grice. This volume includes many nuanced and timely contributions that use an intersectional lens to explore the diversity of experience and needs among first-generation college students. The editors carefully designed the volume with the needs of instructors in mind. The three sections, which focus on defining the first-generation college student, exploring intersections of this identity, and describing program supports targeted to this population, each begin with a review of the literature followed by chapters focused on relevant research and theory. Each section also contains a couple of thought pieces called "Critical Conversations," which encourage the readers to delve more deeply into the ideas discussed in the sections and which include discussion questions helpful for organizing students' thoughts and reactions. Overall, the book provides an excellent introduction to the literature on first-generation college students. The organization of the volume makes for a welcome addition to college courses.", "FINALLY...A BOOK THAT "GETS IT!" At the Intersection is an aptly titled new work from the team of Robert and Hope Longwell-Grice that offers tremendous insight on the complicated journey taken by First-Generation students to and through college. What is different about this book is that, as the collective authors note, the First-Generation students of today hail from a diverse array of demographic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds that are not some sort of inconvenient challenges to be transcended -- as some prior 'experts' seem to have suggested--but, rather, strengths andcharacteristics to be understood and appreciated as these students stand at thecomplex intersection of their respective personal worlds and the institutionsof higher education they attend. As a university graduate school faculty memberwhose students are preparing to work as higher education administrators, Iconsider At the Intersection to be a critical resource, offering the sort ofessential guidance these future professionals are going to need to support, andlearn from, the First-Generation students with whom they will be working. Kudosto Rob and Hope Longwell-Grice for not only the content but also the longoverdue tone and message of the book!, I loved At the Intersection . As a first-generation college student myself who ended up a dean at a major university, the content of this book tells a lot of my story, both the challenges I had to work through and the supports I needed to make it. The section on identity makes this an imperative read for understanding today's first-gen population. The section on recommended programs, policies, and practices makes it essential reading for faculty and students in student affairs, student success, counseling, and higher education. It's also a quick and lively read!, The phrase First-Generation Student has becomesuch a ubiquitous moniker in higher education that the diversity of experiencesand needs of the first-in-family enrolled college students it denotes has beenobscured and reduced to a hollow catchphrase. In their edited text, At the Intersection: Understanding andSupporting First-Generation Students , Robert and Hope Longwell-Grice--alongwith an assemblage of expert scholar-practitioners--recapture the value andsubstance of the designation by providing readers with an accessible primer andguidebook. At the Intersection offersreaders an instrumental resource for understanding and effectively respondingto these students' divergent, shared, and intersectional identities in serviceof their access, retention, learning, well-being, and success., Robert and Hope Longwell-Grice are among a very select group of scholars who can be considered respected authorities on the demographics and issues of first-generation college students. They have presented and published on this topic for the past twenty years. In this volume, they complement their own considerable knowledge by gathering an impressive assemblage of other renowned scholars to explore carefully a wide array of identities and nuanced topics within the first-gen community. The result is one of the most comprehensive and thorough examinations of first-generation college students ever produced., In this edited volume, Robert Longwell-Grice and Hope Longwell-Grice, alongside the contributing authors, have extended to us an invitation and a challenge to honor the whole identities and lived truths of first-generation students. This book is a necessary read for educators, policy makers, and administrators looking to support first-generation students. Through research that highlights the complexities of the first-generation student population, features identity-based support programs, and calls attention to how we can center the dignity of our first-generation students, I am moved to be a more loving and informed educator. This is a significant justice issue of our time., The phrase First-Generation Student has become such a ubiquitous moniker in higher education that the diversity of experiences and needs of the first-in-family enrolled college students it denotes has been obscured and reduced to a hollow catchphrase.

This section offers promise and direction for future work as institutions try to find a successful array of approaches to make the campus an inclusive place for the diverse population of first-generation college students., Designed for use in classrooms and for use by the higher education practitioner on a college campus today, At the Intersections will be of value to the reader throughout their professional career., The experiences of first-generation college students are not monolithic.
