The research in A Guide to LGBTQ+ Inclusion on Campus, Post-PULSE
is premised on the notion that, because we cannot choose our
sexual, racial, ethnic, cultural, political, geographic, economic,
and chronological origins, with greater advantage comes greater
responsibility to redistribute life's resources in favor of those
whose human rights are compromised and who lack the fundamental
necessities of life. Among these basic rights are access to higher
education and to positive campus experiences. Queer folk and LGBTQ+
allies have collaborated on this new text in response to the June
16, 2016 targeted murder of 49 innocent victims at the PULSE
nightclub, Orlando, Florida. Seasoned and novice members of the
academy will find professional empowerment from these authors as
they explicitly discuss multiple level theory, policy, and
strategies to support LGBTQ+ campus inclusion. Their work
illuminates how good, bad, and indeterminate public legislation
impacts LGBTQ+ communities everywhere, and it animates multiple
layers of campus life, ranging from lessons within a three-year-old
day care center to policy-making among senior administration. May
the power of well-chosen words continue to deepen our
understanding, clarify our communication, and empower us all as
pro-LGBTQ+ campus activists.
Together we can build enough momentum to see Jim Crow lying silent
and still in his grave. This book shouts out ways that we can and
must respond to the sickening accumulation of racially inspired and
systemically sanctioned deaths. Today, we remember the passing of
young, Black Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. In responding to
this event, we are determined to dismantle the alexithymia
(indifference to the suffering of others) that pervades our
campuses. It is nothing less than a by-product of racism protected
by the illusion of democracy. RIP Jim Crow contains three sections:
(1) Antiracist Theory and Policy; (2) Antiracist Administration,
Curriculum, and Pedagogy; and (3) Antiracist Cultural
Interventions. Each of the 31 chapters contributes to the
normalization of anti-racist policy within academic institutions,
antiracist discourse within academic cultures, and institutional
praxis that upholds speaking out against racist activity. The hope
is that this book will also reduce racism in the broader world
through academic relationships with community partners.
This first-of-its-kind text explores the Ed.D. program as a
crucible for equitable higher education and community leadership.
It was inspired in part by the Carnegie Project on the Educational
Doctorate (CPED) and, more broadly, by widespread international
interest in the power of the Ed.D. as a force for positive social
change. The book's range of cultural contexts and educational
perspectives promises new insights and solutions for policy
analysts, policy makers, executive administrators, faculty
researchers, philanthropists, and policy beneficiaries. In contrast
to the traditional Ph.D., the Ed.D. typically attracts educational
practitioners within school boards, government agencies,
non-governmental organizations (NGOs), as well as standalone or
internationally linked community associations. The greatest
attraction of the Ed.D. is an assessment strategy that encourages
graduate students to incorporate their own cultural and
professional contexts into a capstone project instead of producing
a classic dissertation. This book features inclusive language,
highlights everyday expressions from minoritized cultures, and
clarifies new concepts to accommodate new scholars and English
Language Learners. Readers will discover representative research on
Ed.D. policy and practice from the United States, Canada, and a
sprinkling of other countries. Renowned and emergent researchers
represent multiple roles within the Ed.D. education process.
Individual chapters contrast historical and contemporary issues,
and raise awareness about many complexities and strategies that
make the Ed.D. an ideal engine of professional empowerment and
social justice leadership.

The promise of this admission policy reader arises from the
embodiment of research from 58 authors, six continents, 20 time
zones, 20+ first languages, and a broad array of research
methodologies. Four sections aggregate key themes within the text:
(1) National Perspectives on Higher Education Admission Policy; (2)
Theoretical Approaches to Higher Education Admission Policy; (3)
Applicant Recruitment and Student Support Services in Higher
Education; and (4) Diversity and Equity in Higher Education
Admission Policy Implementation. This book's global chorus of
professional experience, investigation, and insight is
unprecedented in its breadth and depth, illuminating a rare swath
of challenges and opportunities that Internet-sourced international
higher education makes visible. Although each chapter is an
independent research report, together they generate a new landscape
for admission policy orientation, exploration, and activism. The
sheer range of policies and organizational infrastructure will
alert all readers to many complexities within the admissions
process that remain invisible within single or multiple but similar
cultural and political contexts. Many of these authors have
demonstrated courage along with their intellectual acumen in
tackling politically sensitive, culturally taboo, and personally
dangerous topics within their research. Theirs is a moving
testimony to the global quest for fairness within the world of
admission policy implementation and to the power of access to
higher education. Together, we are determined to advance equitable
admissions praxis within all institutions of higher learning and
promising futures for all students.
