Class Dismissed (eBook, ePUB)

Making College Work for Everyone in a Deeply Divided America

Beschreibung

Perennial news topic: Debates about postsecondary education have swelled recently. Books on this subject get heavy pick-up during the back-to-school and college acceptance seasons. Public interest has swung toward understanding the costs, value, and significance of college, particularly for low and middle income students-topics that anchor Class Dismissed.

Established media platform: Greenwald's writing has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, New York Daily News, Chicago Tribune, LA Times, In These Times, The Progressive, Bookforum, Businessweek, the Chronicle of Higher Education, and on The Brooklyn Rail, The Rumpus, Inside Higher Education, Atlantic Cities (Atlantic Magazine project), and Bloomberg Echoes.

Dedicated funding for promotion: Additional marketing support is provided by the Kresge Foundation.

Well-positioned to opine on this subject: Greenwald is a social historian of modern America with expertise in labor, politics, and the workforce. He's been an administrator in three colleges that serve working-class students, the sort he was once, which shapes his astuteness at parsing matters of class. He's a respected higher education leader who regularly attends/speaks at popular conferences including the Harvard Institute for Leadership and Management in Higher Education and the Organization of American Historians among others.
