Overview

There has been an increased focus on the need to address the wellbeing and mental health challenges that affect humans across organizational settings, including the higher education sector. This comprehensive Handbook is organized into three sections: student wellbeing, faculty and leader wellbeing, and wellbeing initiatives at institutional or systems-level. Scholars from around the globe discuss initiatives, practices, and structures that provide a positive outlook on individual and organizational flourishing in higher learning and offer lessons from efforts to promote positive emotional and social aspects for students, leaders, and faculty. Topics include student resilience and leadership, supervisory relationships, appreciative mentoring, student thriving, issues of mental and physical health, faculty and leader wellbeing, development of wellbeing interventions and health promotion frameworks, and international student wellbeing. The interventions and experiences presented in The Emerald Handbook of Wellbeing in Higher Education are aimed at enhancing flourishing among students, faculty and staff, and across institutions. This Handbook will be helpful to higher education leaders and managers as they consider ways to promote and implement wellbeing strategies within their institutions, whilst encouraging all readers to adopt an appreciative, strengths-based, positive approach to teaching, learning, and leading in higher education contexts.

Reviews

It is hard to imagine a timelier contribution for leaders in higher education: evidence suggests that campuses are less vital, students are increasingly seeking mental health services, and performance pressures are increasing. This handbook offers promising approaches to revitalizing the human side of higher education and, by drawing from many countries and perspectives, provides a base for thoughtful discussions in the varied contexts that serve the tertiary education sector. -- Dr. Karen Seashore Louis, Regents Professor Emerita, University of Minnesota This is a timely volume for thinkers and practitioners of higher education development. Led by two prominent Canadian scholars, the handbook offers a rich collection of empirical studies and theoretical insights on student and educator wellbeing. In the days of growing precarity, the research and reflection on this topic are hugely important for all of us taking care of new generations of learners and citizens. -- Dr. Anatoly V. Oleksiyenko, Professor of International Higher Education, The Education University of Hong Kong Thoughtfully curated by two leading experts in human flourishing in organizations, this comprehensive volume presents a thorough examination of the intricate dimensions of well-being within the academic sphere. Its diverse chapters explore critical facets of student, faculty, and leader wellbeing, along with institution-level considerations. The international cadre of contributors, with their distinct perspectives, elevates this work to an indispensable resource for scholars, researchers, and administrators who are intent on advancing their understanding and contributing to the scholarly discourse on fostering wellbeing in higher education. -- Dr. Lynn Bossetti, Professor, Educational Policy and Leadership, The University of British Columbia The Emerald Handbook of Wellbeing in Higher Education is an illuminating guide to student, faculty, leader, and system wellbeing.

The book will help to close the scholar-practitioner gap by providing actionable, evidence-based strategies to promote human flourishing on campuses. -- Dr. Laura Lunsford, Professor, Psychology; Assistant Dean, School of Education and Human Sciences, Campbell University This is another fine book by the editors that adds to the impressive contributions that they have been making in the field of inquiry into wellbeing in educational settings and contexts. The book is rich on case studies on wellbeing of students and of faculty and on institutional approaches to wellbeing in higher education from around the word. It will be welcomed as a valuable resource to higher education institutions as they work on putting their wellbeing agendas into practice.  -- Dr. Thomas Falkenberg, Professor, Faculty of Education, University of Manitoba In a thorough and well-balanced collection of chapters, Walker and Kutsyuruba have gathered important works focused on wellbeing of students, faculty, leaders, and institutions of higher education across the world.
