Walden III: A Scholarly Novel About College Reform is a hybrid text
about college reform that marries fiction with academic
scholarship. In this book, Peter Simms, an associate professor of
social psychology at fictional Marsden College in Ohio, visits
Walden III College in order to learn how the experimental Brooklyn
college achieves high retention and graduation rates of poor and
unprepared students. The president of Walden III is the rich and
mysterious Bryce Davis, the freshman-year college roommate of
Simms. Visiting Walden III for a week, Simms learns about the
innovative approaches that Walden III takes to college issues, such
as curriculum, student housing, developmental education, and
governance. Each chapter includes scholarly research on issues
important to college reform. College completion among poor and
unprepared students is an issue of global concern. Walden III's
integration of fiction and scholarly research to address this issue
gives the book a wide reach, appealing to administrators and the
public alike. The book can also be used in English composition and
literature classes, as well as in a variety of undergraduate and
graduate education courses, particularly courses that examine
education policy, curriculum, or administration.
