The authors provide evidence-based data and analysis to show that a focus on individual effort ignores not only how inequities shape opportunity but also how much students lean on one another. It also places the burden of success entirely on the individual rather than asking institutions to share responsibility for students’ academic futures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIn Community, We Can\u003c\/i\u003e shows that shared resources, mutual accountability, and collaborative problem-solving, as practiced by these students, can transform higher education, benefiting academia as a whole rather than just exceptional individuals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marybeth Gasman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43489764442230,"sku":"9780691265674","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/ingramacademic.com\/products\/in-community-we-can-9780691265674","provider":"Ingram Academic \u0026 Professional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
