Campus ecology is the study of the complex behavioral/transactional relationships among the social and physical dimensions of campus environments and those who inhabit them – students, staff, faculty, and visitors. The purpose of this book is to fulfill the promise of the above title and the processes are reasonably straightforward. You find all that you can that has been written about campus ecology. I found over 900 manuscripts, including books, book chapters, theses and dissertations, newsletters, and website materials that at least mention the concept of campus ecology in reference to university affairs. Then I gave a short personal history of the ecological perspective and campus ecology, organized and indexed the found references regarding the applications to university affairs, and then, finally, speculated about the future of the concept and made a call for a “living” manuscript.

The impostor phenomenon is defined by experts as the inability of high achieving people to internalize their successes or to believe that they are capable of or responsible for their own accomplishments. Impostors feel like frauds-plain and simple. Have you ever felt like an impostor? Are you among the multitudes in the United States who have experienced impostor feelings without knowing why? The author's journey from GED to Ph.D. reflects her passion for all things education. Her nearly decade working with authors reflects the love of all things publishing. Now she has come out of the shadows and from behind the scenes to courageously share personal stories that mirror the research she found on the impostor phenomenon. The profiles she created from the research could just as easily have been taken from her life's experiences. If experience trumps education on the "expert" scale of 10,000 hours, then this author has rightly classified herself as "a classic case," having clocked over 262,800 hours struggling through the impostor life. ***** "Andrea's writing does not allow skimming. It is too inviting and engaging and a couple of academic comments would not begin to cover the important messages in Andrea's journey. The book is scholarly (excellent example of qualitative meta-analysis), but the scholarship supports rather than hinders Andrea's personal journal with the imposter phenomenon. The book is a must read for all who care about understanding and enhancing the human condition. Andrea's account of her 'impostor-hood' is for all of us a celebration of the human spirit." -James Banning, Ph.D.

Impostor Affect A Closer Look by a Classic Case

Place is more than a location for an organization or community. Place is the seam of connectedness and intersections between an organization and its community. In this book, the editors have gathered research from across the globe to further explore the many forms of this connecting and intersecting seam of PLACE. This interdisciplinary concept connects geography, human geography, ecological and environmental psychology, and many others in the academic and applied fields. Thomas and Banning looked at the 13 years of research on how organizations valued the places where they reside and discovered that academic and practioneers alike were looking for a different perspective on how organizations relate to their communities. There was great interest in seeing how place can and should play an important role in the strategic relationships organizations have with their communities, their clients, and their employees. The editors demonstrate in this book that place is not just a location, but connections and intersections with important community structures, values, and social responsibility. This book lays out the three principles of place building, the four types of place builders, and the five place dimensions that provide the conceptual framework needed to explore the complexities of the connections and intersections of organizational place building.

The use of the camera to bring about social justice has a long history. The book Campus Artifacts as Diversity Messages: A Photographic Approach seeks to reflect this tradition by sharing how to photograph diversity issues on college and university campuses to bring forth discussions on how to make the institutions of higher education more welcoming, safe, and inclusionary. The book presents the foundational scholarship for using photographs to discuss diversity and how to interpret photographs of campus artifacts. It also includes over 40 photographic illustrations. Photographing for diversity is open to all on campus, it only takes a camera or a cell phone and discussion to promote a more socially just campus.
