Identity Interconnections challenges the field of student affairs to think about theory in our daily practice and see the powerful ways that theories are linked to our multiple identities. The authors bring to our awareness the complexity of identity and the connections that we must be aware of to move us forward to challenge and transgress oppression in higher education. --Dr. Victoria K. Malaney-Brown, Director of Academic Integrity, Columbia University Every chapter in this book applies threshold theorizing on interconnectivity to an in-depth exploration of identity interconnections. The chapters show readers how to think across intersections of identities and demonstrate how poststructural theory can be applied to practice, which many consider a daunting task. In other words, they provide responses to the important question, what would higher education look like if liberatory practices informed by identity interconnections shaped our work? --Susan R. Jones, Professor Emerita, Department of Educational Studies, The Ohio State University This book offers thought-provoking ways to interrupt the systems of oppression that pit people with minoritized identities against each other. I applaud the editors and authors for sharing their rich stories and working to build solidarity and radical connections rooted in trust and vulnerability. Their insights are exactly what readers need to push boundaries and join together in the fight to eradicate oppression. --Stephen John Quaye, PhD, Associate Professor of Higher Education and Student Affairs, The Ohio State University, and Editor, The Journal of Higher Education
