What would it look like if every corner of higher education—not just the classroom—were shaped by safety, trust, collaboration, empowerment, equity, resilience, and care?

That’s the question at the heart of a new book my wonderful colleague, Kim Hardner, and I are co-creating: Trauma-Informed Transformations in Higher Education: Integrating Principles Beyond the Classroom.

This project grows out of conversations with educators, administrators, and staff who are reimagining systems and relationships through a trauma-informed lens. They’re crafting policies that prioritize well-being, redesigning advising and support services, and creating communities that value equity and belonging as much as academic achievement. Our goal with this book is to bring those diverse voices and practices together in one place to learn from one another and to inspire broader systemic change.

If this resonates with the work you’re doing—or dreaming about—we’d love to hear from you. You can find all the details and the submission form here: Trauma-Informed Transformations in Higher Education – Call for Submissions

And if you know someone who’s leading trauma-informed change on their campus, please share the call with them. The more voices we bring together, the stronger this transformation becomes.
