About this book
This book celebrates the contributions of John Weidman and his colleagues to the understanding of student socialization in higher education. It includes innovative chapters reflecting new approaches to higher education student socialization with respect to students of color, gender, STEM, and students in higher education systems outside the USA. Specifically, the book examines socialization between and within in a range of groups, including national, international and minority students, parents, doctoral students, early career faculty, and scholarly practitioners. The book assesses methodological approaches and suggests directions for reformulating theory and practice. Using sociological perspectives to address issues and concerns at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, the book gives renewed life to the college impact literature. It includes revisions and expansions of the original Weidman frameworks based on the synthesis of existing research with new work reflectingunique perspectives by a variety of authors.
John Weidman has been an indisputable force in the study and understanding of student socialization in higher education. This new book by Weidman and his coeditor, Linda DeAngelo, represents an undeniably significant and welcomed expansion of the original “Weidman model” of student socialization. In updating and revising the original model, chapter authors give attention to various contemporary issues such as student diversity, gender differences, early career experiences, and internationalism. Whether one samples only some of the articles that constitute this book or reads all of them, the professional payoff will be substantial.

“Socialization constitutes a core concept for theory and research on various aspects of higher education. This volume, edited with Linda DeAngelo, extends John Weidman’s well-regarded frameworks on socialization in undergraduate education, graduate education, and professional careers. Leading scholars contribute chapters, applying new perspectives and critiquing the frameworks both conceptually and methodologically. This edited volume provides a valuable resource to the communities of scholars and practitioners of higher education.” (John M. Braxton, Professor Emeritus of Higher Education Leadership and Policy, Peabody College of Vanderbilt University)
