Description
Gone are the days when the term diversity may have been used to solely signify the color of one's skin or gender. This volume examines how diverse and marginalized populations are situated within American community colleges amd pushes the boundaries of our understanding of these terms. The editors and contributing authors examine various student groups as well as give voice to the marginalization felt by a group of faculty. Topics include:
Examining the concept of student marginalization through a framework based on Dewey's 1916 work, Democracy and Education
Experiences of Adult English as Second Language learners
Seeing the community college environment through the eyes of student athletes
Current research on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) community college students and the need for more
Student Veterans
Underprepared college students
and community College faculty in correctional institutions.
The volume concludes with key resources for anyone who works with or researches marginalized populations. The resources include sources for further reading, existing organizations serving various marginalized groups, and some possible funding opportunities.
This is the 155th volume of the Jossey-Bass quarterly report series New Directions for Community Colleges. Essential to the professional libraries of presidents, vice presidents, deans, and other leaders in today's open-door institutions, New Directions for Community Colleges provides expert guidance in meeting the challenges of their distinctive and expanding educational mission.

Content
EDITORS'NOTES 1
Elizabeth M. Cox, Jesse S. Watson 1. Deweyan Democratic Learning Communities and Student Marginalization 5
Clifford P. Harbour, Gwyn Ebie
Taking a step back for a greater vantage point, this chapter applies Deweyan principles to the ongoing efforts of community colleges as they work at defusing marginalization on campus.

4. A Primer on LGBTQ Students at Community Colleges: Considerations for Research and Practice 35

6. Beyond Remedial Dichotomies: Are 'Underprepared' College Students a Marginalized Marjority? 59

This author takes a broader perspective on remediation, discussing how remediation is more than a sequence of courses or only localized to community colleges by tying preparedness levels to issues of postsecondary access.
7. Borderland Stories about Teaching College in Prison 73

Adjunct faculty on community college campuses are often marginalized, and as they enter correctional facilities, their position is even more estranged when compared to their campus-based peers, inmate students, and corrections officers.
