Reviews

Building from the premise that the Millennial Generation has experienced unprecedented global change, the essays in Millennial Generation and Pedagogy brilliantly complicate our understandings of this population of students, some of whom are now emerging faculty. Authors write from their personal experience of being a Millennial or having taught Millennial students. Anyone who has a stake in developing an intersectional approach to teaching and mentoring must read this book. -- Alberto Gonzalez, Bowling Green State University

Building from the premise that the Millennial Generation has experienced unprecedented global change, the essays in Millennial Generation and Pedagogy brilliantly complicate our understandings of this population of students, some of whom are now emerging faculty. Authors write from their personal experience of being a Millennial or having taught Millennial students. Anyone who has a stake in developing an intersectional approach to teaching and mentoring must read this book. -- Alberto Gonzalez, Bowling Green State University This is an insightful and useful collection of essays that productively engage and apply communication theory to better understand and engage millennials--as students and as colleagues. When it is so easy to shore up stereotypes about this generation, these scholars take millennials seriously as meaningful participants in teaching and learning, as people constituted in enduring and complex cultural relationships who are capable of agency and action. Readers who are researchers will find avenues for continued and increasingly nuanced investigation; readers who are teachers will find paths forward in mutual understanding and dialogue; and readers who are students will find themselves better prepared to engage in conversations about (and resist mischaracterizations of) who they are and can become in the world. -- Deanna L. Fassett, San Jose State University
