Recenzii
"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."

"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."

"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 and characteristics to be understood and appreciated as these students stand at the complex intersection of their respective personal worlds and the institutions of higher education they attend. As a university graduate school faculty member whose students are preparing to work as higher education administrators, I consider At the Intersection to be a critical resource, offering the sort of essential guidance these future professionals are going to need to support, and learn from, the First-Generation students with whom they will be working. Kudos to Rob and Hope Longwell-Grice for not only the content but also the long overdue tone and message of the book!

"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. In their edited text, At the Intersection: Understanding and Supporting First-Generation Students, Robert and Hope Longwell-Grice—along with an assemblage of expert scholar-practitioners—recapture the value and substance of the designation by providing readers with an accessible primer and guidebook. At the Intersection offers readers an instrumental resource for understanding and effectively responding to these students’ divergent, shared, and intersectional identities in service of their access, retention, learning, well-being, and success."

"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!"

"If you care deeply about the dynamic, lived experiences of first-generation college students, then this book is a must-read. This book has garnered critical conversations and insightful contributions to embolden our deep understanding of the kaleidoscope of identities first-generation college students possess. This is the book I longed to see when I first started researching first-generation college students! This book is surely seminal and paves a path forward for all of us to recognize the untold stories of first-generation college students."

Director of Student Success Programs, UC San Diego, and Co-editor, NASPA Journal on First-Generation Student Success
"This book beautifully and boldly unveils the marriage between the body of research and on-the-ground experiences of first-generation students--from an intersectional approach that is often overlooked. As a first-generation graduate, I urge every staff and faculty member to read At the Intersection to understand the complexities of a student’s journey beyond academic determinants. If you are passionate about understanding, cultivating, and amplifying first-gen students’ success, start here."

"This 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."
Sarah E. Whitley
Assistant Vice President, Center for First-generation Student Success, NASPA
"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."
