Reviews

"Winner of the Frederic W. Ness Book Award, Association of American Colleges and Universities"
"Winner of the Grawemeyer Award in Education"
"For those of us who work with strivers. . . . Moving Up Without Losing Your Way provides an empathetic and clear-eyed analysis of the difficult choices they must make, and the costs of those choices to both themselves and their communities."---James M. Lang, Chronicle of Higher Education
"This important and accessible study demonstrates the value of ethical analyses to understand these issues, aimed at strivers, their families, their communities, and the entire higher education community." * Choice *
"Morton is not the first person to describe the myths and ordeals of upward mobility. Nor is she the first to call attention to this group of striving students. But where Morton differsand meaningfully contributesis in her perspective as a philosopher."---Shaun Ossei-Owusu, Public Books
"Morton makes her main argument through an astute and very accessible philosophical analysis. . . . Mortons book is valuable because it not only focuses on the ethical costs of social mobility but also hints at solutions."---Helen De Cruz, The Philosphers Magazine
"A good guide to a road not yet well-enough traveled but increasingly important if higher education is to better serve more of the students coming its way."---Mary Taylor Huber, Change: The Magazine of Higher Learning
"Compelling and momentous. . . . Mortons book occasions a critical reflection for strivers, educators, administrators in higher education, and for anyone who wishes to better understand and support strivers they know."---Vikramaditya Joshi, Studies in Philosophy and Education
