The Cultural Journeys of Rural, Poor and Working-Class College Students Policy and Practice to Support Degree Attainment

"This timely book examines how rural, poor and working-class students navigate the complex cultural landscapes of U.S. higher education. Using multiple qualitative methods and cultural theoretical frameworks, this volume provides actionable recommendations and strategies for colleges and universities to support rural, poor and working-class college students, while recognizing how additional marginalized identities (e.g., students of color, LGBTQ+ students, students with disability) shape their lived experiences. I highly recommend this resource to anyone working to create more equitable and inclusive campus environments for rural, poor and working-class students."
