Though colleges and universities are arguably paying more attention to diversity and inclusion than ever before, to what extent do their efforts result in more socially just campuses? This book examines how race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, sexual orientation, age, disability, nationality, and other identities connect to produce intersected campus experiences.

Poison in the Ivy examines college students in the U.S.’s upper-echelon of higher education to identify how young elites interact with one another, how these social interactions influence their views of race and inequality, and how these views and interactions may contribute to broader racial inequalities in society.
