Reading suggestions: Anthro of Higher Ed?

[far_to_go]

Hi folks!

I just finished reading Nancy Abellman's "The Intimate University: Korean-American Students and the Problems of Segregation," which I thoroughly enjoyed. It got me to thinking: someday I'd love to teach an undergrad course on the anthropology of higher education in the US. What better way to teach students to analyze social systems than by asking them to critically examine the university system of which they are members?

Anyway, I'm still at least a couple of years away from actually teaching any of my own courses, but I'd like to get started reading more about this subject. Do you have any recommendations of relevant books that you've read?

Here's a few of the other books that I'm thinking of including in my future course (hey, it's fun to dream, right? Don't all grad students use their summer free time to write imaginary syllabi?)

• Marc Bousquet, “How the University Works: Higher Education in the Low-Wage Nation”
  
• Kevin Roose, “The Unlikely Disciple: A Sinner’s Semester at America’s Holiest University”
  
• John Flower, “Downstairs, Upstairs: The Changed Spirit and Face of College Life in America.”
  
• Frank Rhodes, “The Creation of the Future: The Role of the American University”
  
• Rebekah Nathan, “My Freshman Year: What a Professor Learned by Becoming a Student”
