The year 2020 presented conflicts in higher education, including a global pandemic, racial protests, cries for Black Lives Matter following the deaths of Black women and men by police, education moved online to virtual classrooms, and the U.S. economy struggling as millions of Americans were furloughed or worked remotely and ordered everything curbside; all of this compounded by an election year. This book is a compilation of perspectives shared from students enrolled in a graduate course on diversity and social justice in higher education who found community in sharing their personal and professional experiences associated with identity and allyship development, socialization, activism, institutionalized racism, academic traditions, advising, to implications for change in higher education policies, processes, and practice.

Responsive learning and responsible learning have not been considered and utilized appropriately in the past, especially in light of the post-pandemic higher education landscape. A discussion and consideration of the different elements that make up responsive and responsible learning such as agency, agility, mindfulness, connectedness, resourcefulness, active and seamless learning, and regulation of learning are required to advance the field of higher education. Cases on Responsive and Responsible Learning in Higher Education encompasses cases on responsive and responsible learning in higher education and focuses on how the concepts are translated into practice by instructors, learning facilitators, and higher education managers. The book also deals with various practicalities and strategies and adopts existing models and frameworks for 21st century learning. Covering key topics such as learner agency, mindfulness, and personalized learning, this reference work is ideal for administrators, policymakers, researchers, academicians, practitioners, scholars, instructors, and students.
