Education, psychology, disability studies, and medicine are among the perspectives contributors bring to their studies of key factors in identity development among higher education students, and how student experiences in formal, nonformal, and informal learning activities help shape their identities. Their topics include accessibility and acceptance for university students with diverse abilities, US military veterans: a look at their college experience and equitable and inclusionary practices, the influence of socioeconomic status on perceptions of persistence among African American students at major US universities, and failure leading to success when remediation builds resiliency: how struggling international medical students gain entry into US graduate medical education programs.
