In efforts to improve equity, selective college campuses are increasingly focused on recruiting and retaining firstgeneration studentsthose whose parents have not graduated from college. In Geographies of Campus Inequality, sociologists Benson and Lee argue that these approaches may fall short if they fail to consider the complex ways firstgeneration status intersects with race, ethnicity, and gender.Drawing on interview and survey data from selective campuses, the authors show that firstgeneration students do not share a universal experience. Rather, firstgeneration students occupy one of four disparate geographies on campus within which they negotiate academic responsibilities, build relationships, engage in campus life, and develop postcollege aspirations. Importantly, the authors demonstrate how geographies are shaped by organizational practices and campus constructions of class, race, and gender. Geographies of Campus Inequality expands the understanding of firstgeneration students' campus lives and opportunities for mobility by showing there is more than one way to be firstgeneration.
