Paradoxes of the Democratization of Higher Education

Youn presents readers with a collection of essays and articles investigating various paradoxes in the democratization of higher education. The six selections that make up the main body of the text are devoted to the intersection of student loans and social class, leveled aspirations among low-income university STEM students, predictors of low-SES student persistence from the first to second year of college, a cultural analysis of college pathways among rural and first-generation students, and other related subjects. The editor is a faculty member of Boston College in Massachusetts. Research in Social Problems and Public Policy presents important themes of: social/crime problems and their treatment; criminal justice; law and public policy; crime, deviance and social control; substance use/abuse and treatment; health and society; and institutional interaction. This volume focuses on the democratization of higher education.
