The author shares the stories of student parents attending public colleges and the cultural, economic, and political forces impacting them. She draws on interviews with 40 students conducted between 2007 and 2014 in Connecticut who were raising children under the age of 14, as well as interviews with campus and community representatives and analyses of higher educational history, public policy, and national data, to understand what it means and what it takes to be a student parent. After an overview of higher education, expanding opportunities, and changing universities, chapters discuss the college experiences of student parents, focusing on the ways that institutional and organizational social norms, resources, and processes impact them; the cultural logics that students draw on to make sense of the role of higher education in their lives, including their expectations and aspirations; the implications of their strategies at home and in their careers, particularly in terms of cultural ideals of gender, parenting, and work and the relationship between education, job skills, and the economy; and how these students’ experiences reinforce or challenge dominant cultural logics about parenting and the role of public higher education in the 21st century.
