This volume of case studies, based on original qualitative
research, has been written expressly for student affairs educators
and administrators at the college and university level. Giving
Voice to Critical Campus Issues addresses the complex issues of
classism, student suicide, alcohol-related death, acquaintance
rape, multiracial identity, and the self-development of young
adults with alcoholic parents. Practitioners and faculty can use
this crucial book to enrich their understanding of the deep
complexities of campus life; and they will also find themselves
more attuned to the often unheard and/or unacknowledged voices of
young men and women who have both distinctive needs and dynamic
potential. With introductory chapters describing the constructivist
qualitative methodology that underlies each case study, this book
will serve as an excellent text for graduate-level research
classes. It will also be an outstanding resource for undergraduate
leadership and residence life classes, and for training and
seminars aimed at student affairs staff. Co-published with American
College Personnel Association.

College students and graduates have fond memories of campus
events such as commencement, founder's days, convocations, and
baccalaureate. These events, defined as rites of passage, secular
ceremonies, or cultural performances, create a special feel to a
campus remembered for years to come. Borrowing from interpretive
anthropology, the author spotlights the following ideas: culture is
revealed and forms of life are expressed through the actions and
words of community members; human communities are dynamic, complex,
and ever-changing environments revealed though analysis of cultural
events; and commonplace rituals and ceremonies play a central role
in the cultural work of human meaning. The purpose of the book is
to explore campus culture as revealed through rituals and
ceremonies.
While rituals are unique to each campus, this book discusses
higher education ceremonies and traditions and offers explanations
about the roles they play in building and maintaining campus
culture. Dr. Manning combines educational research methodology,
higher education and anthropological theory to vividly describe
college rituals. In a readable fashion, case studies describing the
rituals are interspersed between chapters discussing the theory of
rituals. The cases include convocation, presidential inauguration,
junior show, charter day, founder's birthday celebration,
baccalaureate, and laurel chain and alumnae parade.
