Higher Education and Society Series Editors Roger Geiger Higher Education Program Pennsylvania State University University Park, Pennsylvania, USA Katherine Reynolds Chaddock Charleston, South Carolina, USA
This series explores the diverse intellectual dimensions, social themes, cultural contexts, and pressing political issues related to higher education. From the history of higher education to heated contemporary debates, topics in this field range from issues in equity, matriculation, class representation, and current educational Federal Acts, to concerns with gender and pedagogy, new media and technology, and the challenges of globalization. In this way, the series aims to highlight theories, historical developments, and contemporary endeavors that prompt critical thought and reflective action in how higher education is conceptualized and practiced in and beyond the United States.
