Higher Education and Social Stress : Understanding the Challenges and Charting Pathways Forward

Omtale

This timely book explores how social stress is reshaping higher education today. By placing the polarizing MAGA-DEI conflict in historical and contemporary perspective, Higher Education and Social Stress encourages discussion and social action within campus organizations amid dismantled social and public health programs. Drawing on higher education, political science, sociology, and mental health, this interdisciplinary work examines cultural conflicts across social classes and faith traditions to unpack political and social tensions within families, communities, and campuses. Written for scholars, educators, and researchers, it provides opportunities for reflection and dialogue in universities and communities affected by the loss of federal funding for social support, medical services, and educational opportunities.
