"Overall, Most College Students are Women is a good primer for those unfamiliar with scholarship about transformative pedagogy (including feminist pedagogy), adult learning and development, and the current status of women students in the academy. The text is well written and well organized... I applaud the editors' efforsts to include authors at a variety of points in their academic careers. Opportunities are rare for newer scholars to contribute to a volume of this nature, one that is likely to be used in diversity and social justice courses in higher education."

"Establishing the Family-Friendly Campus provides valuable insights for chairs about how to best help faculty manage work-life balance... Whether the ultimate goal is to creat family-friendly campus environments for early-career faculty as a way to help them get established in their careers, or to help more established faculty find balance between demanding academic workplaces and family needs, this book can help campus leaders think in new and different ways about work-life as a concept and about a policy arena that can help faculty have genuinely more interesting and intgrated lives that include quality work and personal lives–whether they have personal family needs or not. This volume helps facul,ty thrive in their careers–a goal to which all campus leaders should aspire."

"Davis should be applauded for his effort to shed light on first-generation students and their experiences in particular. He tasks the field of higher education with better accounting for first-generation students and for working to identify a universal definition for first-generation students as coming from families where neither parent holds a college degree. The book is accessible to scholars and student affairs administrators and, most importantly, to the very population I suspect Davis hopes to reach with this book, first-generation students who are navigating the often rough and chilly waters on their way to being the first in their families to earn a college degree."

“This book brings creativity and innovativeness to training tools, models, and activities. I fully agree with the authors that it is amazing that this important field of endeavor has made so little progress in the last 30 years. The cry for intercultural competence becomes louder at a time when we don't have to travel to find an increasingly diverse population, and thus training is needed now more than ever.”
