Supporting College Students of Immigrant Origin : New Insights from Research, Policy, and Practice Hardback

Description

Over 5 million college students in the United States – nearly one-in-three students currently enrolled – are of immigrant origin, meaning they are either the children of immigrant parents or guardians and/or immigrants themselves.

These students accounted for almost 60% of the growth in higher education enrolment in the 21st century.

Nevertheless, there is very little research dedicated to this student population's specific experiences of postsecondary education, with similar absences discernible within the realms of higher education policy and practice.

Although college campuses are making important progress in building more inclusive spaces, conversations about climate and student care rarely account for the journeys of students of immigrant origin.

Featuring 20 chapters written by more than 50 contributors, this book addresses this glaring omission.

The authors examine how students of immigrant origin experience the road to, through, and beyond higher education, while, simultaneously, speaking to evidence-based implications for policy, research, and practice.
