Gendering the First-in-Family Experience: Transitions, Liminality, Performativity (Routledge Research in Higher Education)
by Garth Stahl Sarah McDonaldDespite efforts to widen participation, first-in-family students, as an equity group, remain severely under-represented in higher education internationally. This book explores and analyses the gendered and classed subjectivities of 48 Australian students in the First-in-Family Project serving as a fresh perspective to the study of youth in transition. Drawing on liminality to provide theoretical insight, the authors focus on how they engage in multiple overlapping and mutually informing transitions into and from higher education, the family, service work, and so forth. While studies of class disadvantage and widening participation in HE remains robust, there is considerably less work addressing the gendered experiences of first-in-family students.
Gendering the Massification Generation: Higher Education Access and Choice in India
by Ann Stewart Emily F. Henderson Nidhi S. Sabharwal Anjali Thomas Julie Mansuy Sharmila Rathee Renu Yadav Nikita SamantaGendering the Massification Generation examines why young people from the same families and communities in India experience different decision-making processes regarding higher education access because of their gender. In India and other contexts where higher education is massifying, and gender parity of enrolment has been reached at undergraduate level, there are still many questions to be asked about gender and access to higher education. Based on an exploratory study of gendered higher education access and choice within the state of Haryana, India, the authors explore gender inequalities of higher education access and choice in the Indian context and connect this with the broader international phenomenon of widening participation. Through an in-depth analysis of the ‘massification generation’, where young people from relatively disadvantaged backgrounds are accessing higher education, often for the first time in their families and communities, readers are encouraged to apply a lens of social disadvantage and gender, and to recognise the norms and transgressions of femininity and masculinity in relation to higher education access and choice. With global implications for the ways in which gender is analysed and framed in widening participation research and policy, this is the ideal book for scholars, students and policy makers working on higher education, as well as researchers and NGOs specialising in gender, school-to-higher education transitions, international development, sociology and area studies.

Genders, Cultures, and Literacies: Understanding Intersecting Identities
by Barbara J. GuzzettiThis volume brings together leading scholars in their fields who offer much needed and wide-ranging perspectives on the intersections of genders, cultures, and literacies. As incidents of racial and gender aggression grow in number and in global attention, it is essential to understand how racial and gender identities and their expressions interplay and influence literacy development and practice. Contributors examine how social identities intersect and are expressed in literacy practices across an array of school and out-of-school settings and discuss how gender and race are represented in individuals’ multimodal practices. Chapters address such topics as the literacy practices of incarcerated fathers of color, Black girls’ literacies, Indigenous students’ cultural literacies, the writing practices of Latinx women for identity representation, and more. Ideal for scholars in literacy studies, gender studies, and cultural studies, this volume is a necessary and original update to the ways cultural, racial, and gender identities are viewed in current educational and sociocultural climates.

General Aspects of Applying Generative AI in Higher Education: Opportunities and Challenges
by Antonio Bucchiarone Yassine Maleh Mohamed Lahby Satu Elisa SchaefferThis book explores the transformative impact of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) on teaching and learning, examining how recent advancements in GenAI are revolutionizing educational practices across disciplines. The book is organized into three parts: an overview of GenAI in education, its application in diverse educational contexts, and future perspectives on how educators and GenAI can interface. The first part addresses the pressing concerns within the educational landscape, both the bridges GenAI allows us to build and the remaining as well as the emerging gaps. The middle part explores specific academic disciplines, such as history, sports medicine, mathematics, engineering, and the humanities, dissecting the influence of GenAI on each. The final part looks ahead, discussing the ethical implications, the evolving role of prompting, and innovative frameworks for personalized learning. By presenting a balanced view of the opportunities that are now within reach through GenAI and the challenges such leaps pose to the way we learn and teach, this book allows interested educators to learn from the early-adopting contributors to fruitfully and responsibly integrate such technologies into their pedagogical practices. It serves as a resource for anyone interested in the future of educational practices and research of education, offering insights that can spark further exploration and discussion within the academic community and educational policy makers.

General Education Essentials: A Guide for College Faculty
by Paul HanstedtGeneral Education Essentials "Full-time and part-time faculty in any discipline and at any size campus with any type of mission can pick up this volume and learn something that will help her or him improve teaching and learning.???"—From the Foreword by Terrel L. Rhodes, vice president for Curriculum, Quality, and Assessment, Association of American Colleges and Universities Every year, hundreds of small colleges, state schools, and large, research-oriented universities across the United States (and, increasingly, Europe and Asia) revisit their core and general education curricula, often moving toward more integrative models. And every year, faculty members who are highly skilled in narrowly defined fields ask two simple questions: "Why?" and "How is this going to affect me?" General Education Essentials seeks to answer these and other questions by providing a much-needed overview of and a rationale for the recent shift in general education curricular design, a sense of how this shift can affect a faculty member's teaching, and an understanding of how all of this might impact course and student assessment. Filled with examples from a variety of disciplines that will spark insights, General Education Essentials explores the techniques that can be used to ensure that students are gaining the skills they need to be perceptive scholars and productive citizens. "This is THE ONE BOOK for academics to get up to speed about reforming general education." —Jerry Gaff, senior scholar, Association of American Colleges and Universities

General Education and the Development of Global Citizenship in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China: Not Merely Icing on the Cake (Routledge Research in Asian Education)
by Xing Jun Ng Pak-Sheung Cheng ChunyanGeneral Education has taken center stage in the greater China area (Hong Kong, Taiwan and mainland China) because of a number of important developments. First, globalization has created both opportunities and challenges for college students. When they graduate and enter the real world, they must have the cultural sensitivities and social skills, in addition to their professional training, to compete in a knowledge-based global economy. Equally significant for institutions of higher education, pressing global problems challenge traditional disciplines and demand new forms of learning that reshapes the boundaries of knowledge. In response to those rapidly changing dynamics, general education has taken an increasingly important role in undergraduate education. As the first English publication on the subject, this anthology brings together a distinguished group of General Education scholars and teachers from Hong Kong, Taiwan and mainland China.
