Contested Issues in Troubled Times provides student affairs
educators with frameworks to constructively think about and
navigate the contentious climate they are increasingly encountering
on campus. The 54 contributors to this volume, through a format of
opening positional essays paired with a response, role model
productive dialogue across differences to address the book's
overarching question: How do we create an equitable climate
conducive to learning in a dynamic environment fraught with
complexity and a socio-political context characterized by
escalating intolerance, incivility, and overt discrimination? In
addressing 24 contemporary and contentious questions (such as, how
do student affairs educators navigate the tension between the First
Amendment right to free speech and the expression of ideas that
create a hostile campus climate?), the contributors present diverse
ideological and political conceptualizations of each issue. Rather
than attempting to offer readers absolute truths and definitive
solutions to these persistent and messy issues, this book
illustrates the possibilities and promise of acknowledging multiple
approaches to addressing contentious issues, articulating a
persuasive argument anchored in professional judgment, listening
attentively to others for points of connection as well as
divergence, and drawing upon new ways of thinking to foster safe
and inclusive campuses. Among the issues this volume addresses are
such topics as sexual violence; historically underrepresented
racial and ethnic groups; transgender and undocumented students;
the professional skills, knowledge and/or dispositions needed to
thrive and facilitate systemic change in contemporary higher
education organizations; the implications of maintaining personal
and professional identities via social media; and self-care. In
this companion volume to Contested Issues in Student Affairs (whose
issues remain as relevant today as they were upon publication in
2011), a new set of contributors explore new questions which
foreground issues of equity, safety, and civility - themes which
dominate today's higher education headlines and campus
conversations. The book concludes with calls to action, encouraging
student affairs educators to exhibit the moral courage needed to
critically examine routine practices that (un)knowingly perpetuate
inequity and enact the foundational values and principles upon
which the student affairs profession was founded.

Disrupting Qualitative Inquiry is an edited volume that examines
the possibilities and tensions encountered by scholars who adopt
disruptive qualitative approaches to the study of educational
contexts, issues, and phenomena. It presents a collection of
innovative and intellectually stimulating chapters which illustrate
the potential for disruptive qualitative research perspectives to
advance social justice aims omnipresent in educational policy and
practice dialogues. The book defines "disruptive" qualitative
methodologies and methods in educational research as processes of
inquiry which seek to: 1) Disrupt traditional notions of research
roles and relationships 2) Disrupt dominant approaches to the
collection and analysis of data 3) Disrupt traditional notions of
representing and disseminating research findings 4) Disrupt rigid
epistemological and methodological boundaries 5) Disrupt
disciplinarily boundaries and assumptive frameworks of how to do
educational research Scholars and graduate students interested in
disrupting traditional approaches to the study of education will
find this book of tremendous value. Given the inclusion of both
research examples and reflective narratives, this book is an ideal
text for adoption in introductory research design seminars as well
as advanced courses devoted to theoretical and practical
applications of qualitative and interpretive methodologies.
