Trauma-Informed Pedagogy and the Post-Secondary Music Class explores the theory and practice of teaching and learning in a traumatized world and aims to support instructors in guiding students and walking with them through challenges that impact learning. With analysis contextualized within definitions of trauma, critical theoretical trauma studies, and clinical understandings of the causes and effects of trauma on the brain and nervous system, the book offers ways to empower faculty and students to build classrooms where it is safe enough to address the stress and trauma of learning. Bringing together a unique multidisciplinary group of contributors, this book includes perspectives from both music faculty and mental health counseling specialists.

The volume engages music scholars and educators in higher education with scholarship on trauma-informed pedagogy, provides examples of how to introduce trauma-informed practices into music courses, explores how trauma-informed practices can increase both faculty and student well-being, and offers practical materials such as syllabi and assignments that instructors can implement in their classes. Reaching across disciplinary boundaries to contribute to an emerging body of research, teaching, and learning, this is a vital collection for educators across music higher education.
