Meet the new breed of student activists-uncompromising, focused,
and connected. Activism is once again back on college campuses as
students protest issues such as sexual assault, climate change,
racial injustice, and student debt. It's perhaps unsurprising that
the current political moment has triggered the rise of a new breed
of student activist-uncompromising, focused, and connected. But
many pundits have variously derided student activists as either
"snowflakes," too fragile to encounter opinions that run contrary
to their own, or as "social justice warriors" who aggressively
fight against those who transgress the ever-changing bounds of
political correctness. The New Student Activists moves beyond these
simple stereotypes and convenient caricatures to examine the
nuanced motives and complex experiences of real-life, present-day
college student activists. Jerusha O. Conner offers insight into
who these student activists are-the causes they care about, the
strategies they deploy, the factors that motivate and sustain them,
and the impact they have had on their campuses and beyond. Conner
dubs today's student activists "neoactivists," who borrow from and
build on the legacies of past generations of college student
activists. Exploring when, how, and why this diverse group of
students turned to activism, Conner examines the social and
educational influences on their sociopolitical development. She
also reveals the fraught but mutually transformative relationship
between institutions of higher education and student activists in
the contemporary moment. Written for anyone interested in better
understanding the latest wave of student activism on campuses, The
New Student Activists raises fascinating implications for
developmental theory and higher education policy and practice.
