Abstract "By showcasing asset-based approaches inspired by individual reflection and experience, this volume offers a fresh and timely perspective on grief and trauma within higher education and illustrates how these can serve as opportunities for hope and allyship. Featuring a broad range of contributions from scholars and professionals involved in educational research and academia more widely, Humanizing Grief in Higher Education explores the varied ways in which students, scholars, and educators experience grief and trauma. Set into four distinct parts, chapters deploy personal narratives to illustrate how issues such as race, gender, socio-economic class, and politics intersect with experiences of personal and professional grief within the academy. A variety of intersectional fields of study - from positive psychology, counselling, feminist and queer theory, to trauma theory and disability studies - inform an interdisciplinary framework for processing traumatic experiences. These narrative explorations are positioned as key to developing a sense of hope amongst the grieving and those supporting them. This text will benefit doctoral students, researchers, and academics in the fields of Higher Education, trauma studies, and mental health in education more broadly. Those interested in positive and educational psychology, as well as grief counselling in adults, will also enjoy this volume. Nicole Sieben is Assistant Professor of Secondary English Education at SUNY College at Old Westbury, USA. Stephanie Anne Shelton Assistant Professor of Qualitative Research in the College of Education, and Affiliate Faculty Member in the Department of Gender and Race Studies at the University of Alabama, USA"-- Provided by publisher.
