Description

Rethinking College Student Development Theory Using Critical Frameworks by Elisa S. Abes, Susan R. Jones and Dafina Lazarus Stewart is a significant new contribution to college student development theory. This book brings together "third wave" theories to address this vital topic. The authors explore the evolution of student development theories, including critical race theory, queer theory, feminist theories, intersectionality, decolonizing/indigenous theories, and crip theories, and discuss their relevance to central questions in student development theory. They also examine primary constructs associated with student development theory, such as resilience, dissonance, socially constructed identities, authenticity, agency, context, development, and knowledge. This book provides valuable insights into how critical perspectives can be applied to practice, making it an essential resource for faculty members teaching graduate programs in higher education and student affairs, as well as practitioners seeking guidance on working effectively with students.
