International Student Support and Engagement in Higher Education Exploring Innovative Practices in Campus Academic and Professional Support

International Student Support and Engagement in Higher Education examines innovative practices in campus academic and professional support services which serve the various and unique needs of international students seeking undergraduate and graduate degrees.

The international range of contributors showcase research from across Canada China Indonesia Malaysia Russia Senegal Thailand and the United States. Foregrounding support services with innovative and successful methods for collaborating with one another the book crucially addresses how the myriad support services available on campuses can work together to support international students and foster a sense of belonging and connection rather than maintaining a focus on acculturation. It examines the origins of these partnerships asking whether the services are designed to support the international student community specifically or to serve the student population more generally. Identifying new emerging trends and with a view to establishing a broad and global context for best practices in international student support this book will appeal to faculty researchers scholars and scholar-practitioners with interests in higher education student support services and international and comparative education. | International Student Support and Engagement in Higher Education Exploring Innovative Practices in Campus Academic and Professional Support

Housing Careers Intergenerational Support and Family Relations

Housing Careers Intergenerational Support and Family Relations

In this comprehensive volume authors from across the social sciences explore how housing wealth transfers have impacted the integration of families society and the economy with a focus on the (re)negotiation of the ‘generational contract’. While housing has always been central to the realization and reproduction of families more recently the mutual embedding of home and family has become more obvious as realignments in housing markets employment and welfare states have worked together to undermine housing access for new households enhancing intergenerational interdependencies. More families have thus become involved in smoothening the routes of younger adult members into and up the ‘housing ladder’. While intergenerational support appears to have become much more widespread it remains highly differentiated across countries cities and regions as well as uneven between social and income classes. This book addresses the increasing role that family support and intergenerational transfers in particular are playing in sustaining the formation of new households and the transition of young adults towards social and economic autonomy. The authors draw on diverse international cases and a variety of methodologies in order to advance our understanding of housing as a key driver of contemporary social relations and inequalities.

Creating Inclusive Online Communities Practices that Support and Engage Diverse Students

Creating Inclusive Online Communities Practices that Support and Engage Diverse Students

Before the Covid-19 pandemic online and distance education enrolled over 19 million students in the US. As colleges and universities return to in-person instruction the number of online courses and programs is poised to grow exponentially. At the same time institutions of higher education are increasingly more diverse-racially ethnically and socioeconomically-with present and future students having a range of intersectional needs related to their cultural backgrounds gendered experiences and abilities. Sharla Berry offers faculty practical strategies for building asynchronous synchronous and blended online courses and programs that are inclusive and engaging for diverse learners. Recognizing that community is a complex contextual and constantly shifting concept Sharla Berry opens this book by addressing how to develop an inclusive approach to online teaching that takes into account the experiences and needs of historically marginalized and underrepresented students. Covering the affordances and limitations of synchronous and asynchronous teaching as well as hybrid and fully online instruction she outlines different approaches to course design and identifies how to use the myriad functions of learning management systems—from collaborative tools to administering tests—to engage students and assess their involvement and progress. While primarily designed to provide faculty with practical and actionable ideas and strategies this book will also prove useful to those that support faculty in cultivating teaching excellence. Administrators instructional designers faculty developers and support staff will gain insight into how to support faculty in developing robust and inclusive online courses. This book is a thoughtful and practical resource for anyone involved in the teaching and design of online courses and programs that meet the needs of an increasingly diverse student body in an evolving and multifaceted online environment. | Creating Inclusive Online Communities Practices that Support and Engage Diverse Students

Narratives of Recovery from Mental Illness The role of peer support

Narratives of Recovery from Mental Illness The role of peer support

Narratives of Recovery from Mental Illness presents research that challenges the prevailing view that recovery from ‘mental illness’ must take place within the boundaries of traditional mental health services. While Watts and Higgins accept that medical treatment may be a vital start to some people’s recovery they argue that mental health problems can also be resolved through everyday social interactions and through peer and community support. Using a narrative approach this book presents detailed recovery stories of 26 people who received various diagnoses of ‘mental illness’ and were involved in a mutual help group known as ‘GROW’. Drawing on an in-depth analysis of each story chapters offer new understandings of the journey into mental distress and a progressive entrapment through a combination of events feelings thoughts and relationships. The book also discusses the process of ongoing personal liberation and healing which assists recovery and suggests that friendship social involvement compassion and nurturing processes of change all play key factors in improved mental well-being. This book provides an alternative way of looking at ‘mental illness’ and demonstrates many unexplored avenues and paths to recovery that need to be considered. As such it will be of interest to researchers academics and postgraduate students in the fields of psychiatry psychology nursing social work and occupational therapy as well as to service providers policymakers and peer support organisations. The narratives of recovery within the book should also be a source of hope to people struggling with ‘mental illness’ and emotional distress | Narratives of Recovery from Mental Illness The role of peer support
