Drawing on rich qualitative data, as well as theoretical and
conceptual frameworks, this text explores how institutions of
higher education in the US can effectively remember incidents of
campus crisis through physical memorials and commemoration.
Recognizing memorialization as a process of group and individual
recovery, the book foregrounds the performative functions of
physical memorials, and highlights their utility for the extended
campus community. Profiling existing campus memorials in the US,
and offering insights from students, faculty, community members,
and the loved ones of those memorialized, the text illustrates how
institutional decisions and long-term strategy can serve to
effectively navigate the politics of memorialization, helping
communities move beyond incidents of collective trauma. This text
will benefit researchers, academics, and educators with an interest
in emergency management, student affairs practice and higher
education administration, and commemorative literature more
broadly. Those specifically interested in heritage studies, public
history, and American history will also benefit from this book.
