A timely response to the challenges higher education institutions face due to the (post)COVID-19 pandemic, historical and contemporary racial pandemics, environmental crises, higher education activist environments, financial crises, global conflicts, and beyond. In particular, it addresses the gap between theories and practice by providing case studies from different higher education stakeholders. The ethic of care threaded throughout the Handbook is quite timely and an extremely important contribution. The handbook advances our current understandings of these concepts of wellness, community, posthumanism, and sustainability, toward a new future of change and possibilities.
