Books by Karen Gross

Explores how educational institutions have failed to recognise and effectively address the symptoms of trauma in students of all ages. Gross argues that it is time for educational institutions and those who work within them to change their approaches and responses to traumatic symptoms that manifest in students in schools and colleges.

A perspective on the problem of bankruptcy. It provides an introduction to and evaluation of the federal bankruptcy system, places legal issues of bankruptcy in their social context, explores the conflicting interests of those involved, and suggests a humanitarian approach to bankruptcy.

Explores how institutions of higher education can successfully serve ""breakaway"" students - first-generation, low-income students who are trying to break away from the past in order to create a more secure future. In this provocative book, Gross offers a new approach to addressing inequities by focusing on students who have succeeded despite struggling with the impacts of poverty and trauma.
