In efforts to improve equity, selective college campuses are increasingly focused on recruiting and retaining first-generation students - those 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 first-generation status intersects with race, ethnicity, and gender. Drawing on interview and survey data from selective campuses, the authors show that first generation students do not share a universal experience.
