Infos

This edited volume explores the history of student life throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.  Chapter authors examine the expanding reach of scholarship on the history of college students; the history of underrepresented students, including black, Latino, and LGBTQ students; and student life at state normal schools and their successors, regional colleges and universities, and at community colleges and evangelical institutions.  The book also includes research on drag and gender and on student labor activism, and offers new interpretations of fraternity and sorority life.  Collectively, these chapters deepen scholarly understanding of students, the diversity of their experiences at an array of institutions, and the campus lives they built.

Christine A. Ogren is Associate Professor in the Department of Educational Policy and Leadership Studies at the University of Iowa, USA.

Marc A. VanOverbeke is Associate Professor and Associate Dean for Academic Affairs in the College of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, USA.
