Beskrivning
This timely book explores how social stress is reshaping higher education today. By placing the polarizing MAGA–DEI conflict in historical and contemporary perspective, Higher Education and Social Stress encourages discussion and social action within campus organizations amid dismantled social and public health programs. Drawing on higher education, political science, sociology, and mental health, this interdisciplinary work examines cultural conflicts across social classes and faith traditions to unpack political and social tensions within families, communities, and campuses. Written for scholars, educators, and researchers, it provides opportunities for reflection and dialogue in universities and communities affected by the loss of federal funding for social support, medical services, and educational opportunities.

Recensioner i media

"Higher Education and Social Stress is a brave, ambitious and profoundly human contribution to our thinking on false dichotomies within the MAGA-DEI frame, providing rich historical context on trauma, violence, epigenetics and how these, alongside systematic efforts to build and communicate cultures of fear and alienation, impact on young people in higher education. The polarising dynamic of MAGA-DEI is cultivated by rising tuition costs, student debt, under-employment and housing challenges - structural obstacles to converting higher education into a promising future. As Ed St. John outlines using a Human Capabilities framework, communities – including those in higher education - can be rebuilt on a renewed social contract, agreed hopes and aspirations for the future, and a renewed sense of faith in institutional leadership.”Cliona Hannon, Trinity College Dublin, Author of Capital, culture, and capabilities: A human development approach to student and school transformation (Vernon Press)
