Remediating Gaps In Race Readiness: What New Student Affairs Professionals (Didn’T) Learn About Race In Graduate Preparation Programs, Shaun Harper, Demetri Morgan Mar 2015

Remediating Gaps In Race Readiness: What New Student Affairs Professionals (Didn’T) Learn About Race In Graduate Preparation Programs, Shaun Harper, Demetri Morgan

Demetri L. Morgan

Data will be presented from a decade-long project that aims to improve how new professionals are prepared to engage in substantive conversations about race and racism, work with ethnically diverse student populations, understand and address racial inequities, and foster inclusive campus racial climates. Attendees will have three opportunities to critically reflect on the sufficiency of what they learned about race in graduate school. Resources that should prove useful in remediating gaps in prior professional learning will be distributed.

Student Affairs Professionals Accruing Social Capital: Examining Bias Response Teams, Lucy Lepeau, J.T. Snipes, Hilary Zimmerman, Demetri Morgan

One way that institutions have responded to hostile campus environments for minoritized students is by creating bias response teams. Based on a larger study, researchers use Rhoads and Black’s (1995) conceptualization of student affairs professionals as transformative educators and Stanton-Salazar’s (2011) framework of how institutional agents use social capital to examine how student affairs practitioners accrue social capital when responding to bias incidents. Our findings connect to student affairs professionals’ ongoing development of the equity, diversity, and inclusion professional competency

As college campuses become increasingly diverse (Anderson, 2003), institutions have been pushed to create safe and educationally supportive environments for an array of students (Harper, Patton, Wooden, 2009; Bauman, Bustillos, Bensimon, Brown, Bartee, 2005). Little is known about how institutions have come to respond to the, at times hostile, interactions between students, staff, and organizations on college campuses. One way institutions have responded is with the creation of bias response teams which bring together campus professionals and faculty from different departments to address reported incidents as a result of these interactions. This grounded theory study aims to investigate the process …
