Intersectionality is a term coined by Kimberle Crenshaw in 1989. A
scholar of law, critical race theory, and Black feminist thought,
Crenshaw used intersectionality to explain the experiences of Black
women who - because of the intersections of race, gender, and class
- are exposed to exponential forms of marginalization and
oppression. Intersectionality & Higher Education documents and
expands upon Crenshaw's ideas within the context of U.S. higher
education. The text includes theoretical and conceptual chapters on
intersectionality; empirical research using intersectionality
frameworks; and chapters focusing on intersectional practices. The
volume may prove beneficial for graduate programs in ethnic
studies, higher education, sociology, student affairs, and women
and gender studies alike.
Student Involvement and Academic Outcomes links student involvement
to tangible academic outcomes (i.e., GPAs, retention rates,
graduation rates). This is particularly important for diverse
student populations (e.g., underrepresented minority,
first-generation college, and low-income students) who now make up
a significant portion (and will soon become the majority) of U.S.
college students. The text is a valuable tool for higher education
administrators, faculty, staff, graduate students, parents,
students, and scholars alike. In addition, the volume is ideal for
master's and doctoral programs in higher education and student
affairs-related fields and for courses that examine
issues/experiences associated with diverse U.S. college students,
student affairs intervention strategies, racial and ethnic
diversity in higher education, and critical/contemporary issues in
higher education.
