Niemi explains the developments of the so-called "female advantage" and "boy crisis" in American higher education, setting them alongside socioeconomic and racial developments in women’s and men’s lives throughout the last 40 years. Exploring the relationship between higher education credentials and their utility in creating political, economic, and social success, Degrees of Difference identifies ways in which gender and academic achievement contribute to women’s and men’s power to shape their lives. This important book brings new light to the issues of power, gender identities, and the role of American higher education in creating gender equity.

With a qualitative case study of two university campuses in the United States, Ingrid E. Castro examines experiences of students in forming and sustaining close interracial friendships.The data in this book are comprised of interviews with students conducted at two primarily white institutions in the early 2000s, and illuminate how women of various races struggled to find commonality across difference, particularly in relation to racism, white privilege, and experiences with stereotyping, everyday racism, and segregation on campuses. Taking a feminist approach attending to gender, race and class inequality, Castro analyses the women's experiences with the benefit of contemporary frameworks and theories, including on gendered friendships, social media, parental protectionism, campus climate and race relations; and explores the social and academic spaces of campus, which include interest groups, classrooms, majors, and dorms, as sites of interaction. The conclusion reflects on current DEI efforts on campuses in the U.S., and suggests policy changes that can occur to better campus climate and increase the potential for interracial friendship formation for students. A rich, honest and detailed account of relationships emerges with significant implications for the field of friendship studies and the sociology of higher education.Gender, Race, Inequality and Student Friendship in Higher Education is essential reading for those interested in how universities must move forward in addressing gender, race, and class relations on university campuses.
