Journal of First-generation Student Success (JFGSS)

The Journal of First-generation Student Success (Journal) strives to publish practice articles grounded in research and literature and, reciprocally, research articles that speak to practice. The editors seek to review manuscripts and publish innovative, imaginative, and forward-thinking articles regarding the experiences and outcomes of first-generation college students and the approaches institutions of higher education employ to serve, matriculate, and complete this population. Through the deep intersectionality of the first-generation identity, the large presence of first-generation students at institutions, and the necessary engagement of both academic and student services areas for success, this journal offers many opportunities for cross-disciplinary collaboration. While traditional scholarship is encouraged and accepted, articles prioritizing innovative solutions and advanced thought that dispute deficit-based conversations and propel an asset-based, evidence-driven national narrative are welcome. Especially encouraged are manuscripts that blend conventional and unconventional scholarly approaches that challenge the traditional paradigm of research methods, analyses, and presentation of data. The Journal will consider scholarship that disrupts the traditional first-generation success dialogue, prioritizes removing systemic higher education and institutional barriers to success, and encourages topics that strengthen cross-community and cross-institutional collaborations for sustained change.
