Beskrivning
The college experience is increasingly positioned to demonstrate its value as a worthwhile return on investment. Specific, definable activities, such as research experience, first-year experience, and experiential learning, are marketed as delivering precise skill sets in the form of an individual educational package.Through ethnography-based analysis, the contributors to this volume explore how these commodified `experiences' have turned students into consumers and given them the illusion that they are in control of their investment. They further reveal how the pressure to plan every move with a constant eye on a demonstrable return has supplanted traditional approaches to classroom education and profoundly altered the student experience.

Recensioner i media

"Conceptually clear, subtle, historically attuned, and drawing upon multiple perspectives, this volume is a breath of fresh - and intellectually quite invigorating - air that speaks to consequential transformations in American higher education and in American society more broadly. A highlight is the combination of more ethnographic, analytical chapters by faculty scholars and quite telling and affecting reflections by undergraduates (or recent graduates)." * Don Brenneis, University of California, Santa Cruz
