With contributions from veterans, military spouses, and communication educators, this book explicate barriers that MALs face when trying to transition to, navigate, and succeed in higher education. This edited volume explores the impact of the diversity and nuances of MAL identities on their experiences in higher education; promotes military competence by providing opportunities for educators and support staff to learn about potential barriers and promote best practices for connecting with MALs and validating their lived experiences; examines how technology\/computer-mediated communication may be used to facilitate community building and promote connectedness for MALs within face-to-face and digital spheres.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: The Current Status of MALs in Higher Education, Victoria McDermott, Leandra Hinojosa Hernández, and Amy May\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I: Exploring MAL Identities \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Setting the Stage: MALs in Higher Education, Victoria McDermott, Margaret Stewart, Carol Walker, Amy May, and Leandra Hernández\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Understanding Dual Identity Formation: Identifying Commonalities and Resolving “Differentness” For Military Affiliated Learners, Amy May and Victoria McDermott\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: What is Impacting the Military-Affiliated Learner Experience in Higher Education, Nancy A.
