University of Central Arkansas issued the following announcement on Dec. 12.
The Center for First-generation Student Success announced the release of annotated bibliography summarizing available research on first-generation students from 2008 to 2019.
Amy Baldwin, senior lecturer of writing, literacy and academic success in the UCA Department of Student Transitions, served as co-lead author.
“The purpose of this annotated bibliography was to comb through a decade of material—from traditional research to nontraditional channels like social media and popular culture—to help us figure out how we got to our current understanding of first-generation students and graduates,” said Baldwin. “We entered this project with a central question, ‘How did we get here?’ and found that, while there is extensive research and practice related to the first-generation student experience, there is so much more we can and should be studying and sharing.”
