This edited book gives voice to previously unheard narratives on wellbeing in higher education and provides novel implications for higher education policy and practice.

Offering contextually-sensitive and culturally-responsive perspectives, the book problematizes wellbeing in higher education as it is currently theorized in the Global North, bringing to the fore perspectives and multi-disciplinary insights from the Global South region. Chapters present an alternative conceptualization of wellbeing in higher education based on stories, perceptions and experiences of university students, faculty, and leaders from the Global South region, challenging a reductionist view of well-being and embracing its complexity, multi-dimensionality and context-sensitivity. The authors present an alternative non-Western approach to thinking, researching and doing well-being in higher education, offering clear guidelines to support teachers, educational researchers and leaders in fostering a more holistic teaching and learning experience.

This volume will stimulate policy development and enactment, as well as university-wide interventions and practices that can make a difference in the lives of students in higher education.

Industry Reviews

This is a groundbreaking book in the series "Wellbeing and Self-care in Higher Education: Embracing Positive Solutions" that delves into the crucial yet often overlooked topic the contextually sensitive and culturally responsive approaches to wellbeing and self-care in higher education, with a specific focus on the unique challenges and opportunities present in the Global South. This book is a timely and much-needed contribution to the field, as it sheds light on the diverse experiences and perspectives of students, faculty, and staff in non-Western contexts, challenging the assumptions and norms that have long dominated the discourse on wellbeing in higher education
