Recent research has found that college students' sense of belonging is related to their motivation to persist. Unfortunately, much of this research has not explicitly considered the experiences of sexual minority college students. However, as institutions of higher education seek to create environments that are more inclusive for sexual minority…

The exploration of female professionals' experiences within the realm of higher education is steadily increasing, yet researchers have yet to analyze, much less include, Jewish women. Following a qualitative intrinsic case study approach, this study assesses the lived experiences of ten white Jewish women professionals to better understand how…

This dissertation seeks to understand the internationalization of public higher education in the United States through the investigation of an international programs office at a large land-grant university. The study identifies internationalization trends in higher education after World War II and focuses on the internationalization of The…

Many urban public schools are often perceived as inclusive due to the demographics of their diverse student populations. This myth of inclusivity reifies notions of equity in both education and broader society. However, upon closer inspection, this myth of inclusion crumbles once immersed within an urban high school. In this article, I present the…

The present study carried out a bibliometric analysis of L2 eye-tracking research. VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and CitNetExplorer were used for the analysis. The data were 245 articles indexed by Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI). The study identified the research topics, trends, promising research directions, influential authors and documents, and…

Queer college students experience microaggressions and macro-aggressive behaviors that may diminish positive effects of on-campus housing. This longitudinal, qualitative study examined the narratives of 12 queer college students and their experiences living on campus toward understanding the ways queer college students navigate their required…

Higher education in Korea has recently undergone drastic changes introduced by internationalisation policies aimed at global competitiveness in the educational markets.

The university period provides a critical developmental transition from adolescence to adulthood. During this period, young people establish patterns of behaviors and make lifestyle choices that affect their current and future health. Using the social constructionist paradigm that examines the development of masculinities as a mutual construct of…

The purpose of this study was to illuminate how and to what extent Black women's developmental processes have influenced their success within their respective U.S. college environments. Crenshaw's three dimensions of intersectionality guided our analysis. We synthesized 38 peer-reviewed articles and interpreted five themes: (a) navigating the…

With a particular focus on the experience of young people in higher education, this paper turns to the philosophical work of Cora Diamond to open up new ways of conceptualising mental health. We claim that Diamond offers a compelling insight into that experience of human "difficulty" so often subsumed by a medicalised vocabulary. We…

Belonging at university is a complex and important issue which relates to student attainment but is more challenging for nontraditional students, including those with disability. This study, part of a larger project, explored differences in academic self-confidence and engagement, belonging, peer belonging and institutional acceptance in those…

This qualitative study examines how Black undergraduate students attending a predominately White institution (PWI) assess and interpret their university's diversity and inclusion initiatives given their everyday experiences with campus-based racism. Using critical race theory (CRT) this article illuminates how Black students at a PWI interpret…

Innovation and its associated practices (e.g., entrepreneurial-focused curricula, creativity initiatives, makerspaces) are increasingly moving from the periphery to the center of postsecondary institutional identities on an international scale. Set against this context, the purpose of this study was to examine a Canadian institution distinctively…

The creation and enforcement of a cisgender binary throughout the history of the United States has led to the establishment of trans* identities as "deviant" or "deficient" others--mentalities that bleed into the policies, practices, and pedagogical environments of higher education institutions. Often, these understandings lead…
