Summary:

KEY FEATURES: Each short, concise idea paper defines the discipline, focuses on one idea that the discipline can offer, and concludes with a call to action. Collectively, the chapters demonstrate the value of higher education in helping readers navigate the personal and social upheaval of a life-changing crisis. With empathy at the heart of the process, the book's 25 authors and 11 reader advocates (professors, current students, recent graduates, and community stakeholders) worked together to provide a unified response to the crisis. The idea papers address many of the difficult issues facing students right now, such as: How do they engage with the Black Lives Matter movement during a pandemic? How will their majors and career plans be affected? What if their dreams of playing college sports are cut short? How can they navigate the cultural tensions in the U.S. that COVID-19 has intensified? Throughout the book, readers are challenged to reconstruct its ideas in ways that are personally meaningful and are prompted to rethink, reframe, or verify what they already know and have experienced. Diverse perspectives are drawn from 25 disciplines: sociology, anthropology, biology, clinical counseling, community engagement, creative writing, critical white studies, developmental mathematics, English literature, environmental sociology, film studies, health economics, history, informatics, mathematics, music, organizational leadership, philosophy, political science, psychological science, school counseling, trauma studies, visual arts, and world languages.
