Identity and Practice in Higher Education-Student Affairs (IPHESA) is a book series which

seeks to interrogate the role of higher education and student affairs administration in shaping college student identity, engagement, and student success. In doing so, the series reaffirms the transformative potential of the college experience to support students themselves in their planning and execution so that they can be real actors in their own learning—one that requires reflection and judgment. Thus, this series explores issues of identity and practice to examine how the diversity of college students can experience cocurricular spaces as agents of their own learning. This series recognizes that inequities exist across these socially constructed spaces and are experienced differently across college student populations. Prospective book topics include, but not limited to, such themes of:

(1) student affairs within specific institutional types (liberal arts, HBCU, etc.)

(2) exploration of specific functional administrative areas (residence life, educational opportunity programs, first-year experience)

(3) student conduct administration

(4) student identity development; (5) student mental health

(6) (dis)ability

(7) academic advising and/or student retention

(8) campus/student spirituality

(9) LGBTQ+ experiences

(10) racial & cultural identity development

(11) student involvement (student organizations, student activities, student unions)

and (12) handbooks/guides for student affairs professionals.
