This collection brings together insightful chapters which explore
diverse student success initiatives and programs in response to
challenges faced by community colleges. Each chapter of the
collection magnifies a specific aspect of student affairs to
illustrate how dedicated departments and practitioners have
effectively supported student success via select projects or
initiatives. Readers will gain a deeper insight into the
contemporary applications, practices, and impacts of agendas such
as the assessment of student affairs and services, student success
programming, Guided Pathways, and The Completion Agenda. By
demonstrating the meaningful involvement of student affairs
practitioners in fulfilling institutional missions and visions,
this collection contributes to an overarching dialogue about
promoting community college student success. This collection will
be of interest to researchers, academics, graduates, and
postgraduate students in the fields of higher education
administration, educational leadership, adult education, and
lifelong learning.

This "Companion" provides the first definitive overview of
psychocultural anthropology: a subject that focuses on cultural,
psychological, and social interrelations across cultures.
Brings together original essays by leading scholars in the field
Offers an in-depth exploration of the concepts and topics that have
emerged through contemporary ethnographic work and the processes of
global change
Key issues range from studies of consciousness and time, emotion,
cognition, dreaming, and memory, to the lingering effects of racism
and ethnocentrism, violence, identity and subjectivity

This book explores theory and best practices to improve teaching
and learning to promote equity in the classroom in specific
disciplinary areas including STEM, healthcare, and the humanities.
Each chapter includes actionable pedagogical or curricular
recommendations such as course assignments and lesson plans. This
is the second of four edited volumes focusing on applications of
the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) for more equitable
learning opportunities.
This book is the first of four edited volumes designed to
reconceptualize teaching and learning in higher education through a
critical lens, with this inaugural publication focusing on the
fundamentals behind the experience. Chapter authors explore recent
research on the cognitive science behind teaching and learning,
dispel myths on the process, and provide updates to the application
of traditional learning theories within the modern, diverse
university. Through reviews of fundamental theories of teaching and
learning, together with specific classroom practices, this volume
applies social justice principles that have been traditionally seen
as belonging to K-12 or adult education to higher education.
This book is the third in a four volume series that focuses on
research-based teaching and learning practices that promote social
justice and equity in higher education. In this volume, we focus on
the application of the scholarship of teaching and learning in
higher education outside of the classroom to maximize the
effectiveness of student affairs programming. Specifically, authors
focus on the application of SoTL in higher education outside of the
classroom (e.g., faculty development, leadership, student
involvement, student affairs) in ways that promote greater equity
and inclusion in higher education. Each chapter includes a
description of how higher education may traditionally marginalize
students from underrepresented groups, outlines a research-based
plan to improve student experiences, and provides a program or
activity plan to implement the recommendations from each chapter.

This book explores the extent to which fuzzy set logic can overcome
some of the shortcomings of public choice theory, particularly its
inability to provide adequate predictive power in empirical
studies. Especially in the case of social preferences, public
choice theory has failed to produce the set of alternatives from
which collective choices are made. The book presents empirical
findings achieved by the authors in their efforts to predict the
outcome of government formation processes in European parliamentary
and semi-presidential systems. Using data from the
Comparative Manifesto Project (CMP), the authors propose a new
approach that reinterprets error in the coding of CMP data as
ambiguity in the actual political positions of parties on the
policy dimensions being coded. The range of this error establishes
parties’ fuzzy preferences. The set of possible outcomes in the
process of government formation is then calculated on the basis of
both the fuzzy Pareto set and the fuzzy maximal set, and the
predictions are compared with those made by two conventional
approaches as well as with the government that was actually formed.
The comparison shows that, in most cases, the fuzzy approaches
outperform their conventional counterparts.

This book focuses on research-based teaching and learning practices
that promote social justice and equity in higher education. The
fourth volume in a four-volume series, this book critically
addresses virtual and remote classroom settings. Chapters explore
contexts within and outside the classroom, including a history of
online learning; research on student engagement and perceptions;
specific, actionable pedagogical or curriculum recommendations; and
the application of traditional learning theories in virtual
settings. The volume also explores how online education, through a
technopositivist lens, promotes and reinforces sexist, racist, and
gendered behaviors, as well as the role of the "student as
consumer," troubling education in virtual settings in a way that
allows for deeper discussion about how to make virtual education
emancipatory and empowering.
