Trauma in Adult and Higher Education: Conversations and Critical
Reflections invites readers to think deeply about the experiences
of trauma they witness in and outside of the classroom, because
trauma alters adult learners' experience by disrupting identity,
and interfering with memory, relationships and creativity. Through
essays, narratives, and cultural critiques, the reader is invited
to rethink education as more than upskilling and content mastery;
education is a space where dialogue has the potential to unlock an
individual's sense of power and self-mastery that enables them to
make sense of violence, tragedy and trauma. Trauma in Adult and
Higher Education: Conversations and Critical Reflections reveals
the lived experiences of educators struggling to integrate those
who have experienced trauma into their classrooms - whether this is
in prison, a yoga class, or higher education. As discourses and
programming to support diversity intensifies, it is central that
educators acknowledge and respond to the realities of the students
before them. Advocates of traumasensitive curriculum acknowledge
that trauma shows up as a result of the disproportionate amount of
violence and persistent insecurity that specific groups face. Race,
gender, sexual orientation, ability, and immigration are all
factors that expose individuals to higher levels of potential
trauma. Trauma has changed the conversations about what education
is, and how it should happen. These conversations are resulting in
new approaches to teaching and learning that address the lived
experiences of pain and trauma that our adult learners bring into
the classroom, and the workforce. This collection includes a
discussion of salient implications and practices for adult and
higher education administrators and faculty who desire to create an
environment that includes individuals who have experienced trauma,
and perhaps prevents the cycle of violence.
