The Influence Of Society On Queer Identity Development And Classification, Kirsten Fricke
The Influence Of Society On Queer Identity Development And Classification, Kirsten Fricke
The Vermont Connection
This article will outline the history of homosexual identity classification and the societal contexts that influenced the development of several commonly used queer identity models. The emergence of the term “homosexual” in 1869 reflected an increased interest in identifying, defining, and regulating queer behavior and identity (Sullivan, 2003). Since then researchers, scientists, doctors, and queer rights activists have clamored to develop ways of contextualizing homosexuality with various, and sometimes horrific results. Exploring the history and impact of dominant heterosexual culture on homosexual identity will provide student affairs professionals with a more complete understanding of the systemic legacy of challenges that …
The Role Of Critical Race Theory In Higher Education, Payne Hiraldo
The Role Of Critical Race Theory In Higher Education, Payne Hiraldo
The Vermont Connection
Despite the substantial impact race has in generating inequities in society and educational institutions, race continues to be untheorized (Ladson-Billings & Tate, 1995). Critical race theory (CRT) is an analytical framework that stems from the field of critical legal studies that addresses the racial inequities in society. This article provides an analysis of CRT in the context of diversity and inclusivity in higher education. In addition, this article also draws from the work and research done by critical race theorists who support the use of CRT in education reform and research.
Dispelling The Meritocracy Myth: Lessons For Higher Education And Student Affairs Educators, Lorriz Anne Alvarado
Dispelling The Meritocracy Myth: Lessons For Higher Education And Student Affairs Educators, Lorriz Anne Alvarado
The Vermont Connection
“Just work hard and you will succeed.” This phrase and others like it represent the belief in meritocracy, which is repeated and perpetuated in our society by role models, friends, government, media, and ourselves. The myth of meritocracy is a part of the utopian belief in the American Dream, which continues to be an active narrative in Americans’ lives that many do not realize is simply a dream and not based on reality. As educators, how do we confront the meritocracy narrative and better understand how it affects our work and our impact on students? This article updates professionals on …
Where Do We Belong? Addressing The Needs Of Transgender Students In Higher Education, Finn Schneider
Where Do We Belong? Addressing The Needs Of Transgender Students In Higher Education, Finn Schneider
The Vermont Connection
Although there has been very little research conducted on the experiences of transgender college students, the reports which do exist indicated an overall lack of access and support on campuses across the country. A fairly strong nationwide student movement has grown in response to these concerns, focused on addressing specific obstacles transgender students face in higher education. The institutions which have experienced the most challenge and student activism concerning transgender issues are women’s colleges. Smith College has been in the media as an example of the opposing opinions about whether or not transgender students, specifically students who identify as female-to-male, …

Two Students Affairs Professionals' Journeys To (Un)Cover, Joshua Gonzalez, Khristian Kemp-Delisser
The Vermont Connection
An African-American student named Jamal adopts the nickname “Jay” when he runs for the student government association. A transgender sophomore dresses impeccably in suits and ties, even for biology lab. Yoshino (2006) described these actions as covering, where an individual masks one’s own recognized marginalized identity in order to gain acceptance within the dominant identity. The authors— a gay African-American and a heterosexual Latino— are both male student affairs professionals at predominately White institutions (PWIs). They will each look at the subtle and covert ways student affairs professionals reproduce pressures to cover and offer ways to understand the impact of …
The Model Minority: Asian American Students And The Relationships Between Acculturation To Western Values, Family Pressures And Mental Health Concerns, Nathan Panelo
The Vermont Connection
As the Asian American student population grows in United States (U.S.) higher education, so does the demand for resources on campus. One major concern facing Asian Americans today is the cultural pressure from home which often leads to mental health concerns. Many Asian American students acculturate to Western values in United States colleges, and in doing so, sacrifice part of their traditional identities. As Asian American students acculturate to Western values, it becomes difficult for them to relate to their immigrant parents or firstgeneration Asian American parents. In contrast, Asian American students who feel close to their traditional values can …

Tradition Today: How Student Affairs Professionals Can Strengthen And Preserve Campus Traditions, Matthew J. Van Jura
Tradition Today: How Student Affairs Professionals Can Strengthen And Preserve Campus Traditions, Matthew J. Van Jura
The Vermont Connection
On November 18, 1999, 12 people were killed and 27 injured when the tower of logs they had erected collapsed, crushing the victims underneath. This tragedy took place on the campus of Texas A&M University, where students had been preparing for “Bonfire,” an annual tradition nearly 90 years old. As a result of tragedies like this, some critics oppose campus traditions. Yet, traditions have long played an instrumental role on college campuses through their ability to build community, connect students with the heritage of their alma mater, and develop institutional pride. The question facing many administrators today is what should …

Universal Instructional Design: Tools For Creating An Inclusive Educational Experience, Stacey Banfield-Hardaway
The Vermont Connection
The number of students with disabilities on college campuses in the United States is growing. To address the needs of these students, all campus community members must evaluate the degree to which the campus environment and social climate are welcoming to students with disabilities. The barriers students with disabilities face can be seen in the classroom, academic and administrative buildings, and in relationships among campus community members. Universal instructional design is an approach to address the needs of students with disabilities and deconstruct prejudice against them.
