A Path Forward: Critically Examining Practitioners' Role in Addressing Campus Racial Climate
Briscoe, Kaleb L.; Garcia, Crystal E.; Swift, Ashley L.
Journal of College Student Development, v63 n5 p588-591 Sep-Oct 2022
The influence of whiteness on campus spaces is perhaps unsurprising, given that student affairs professionals (SAPs) often normalize ideologies and practices around whiteness (Cabrera et al., 2016, 2017). Whiteness is often demonstrated in how SAPs advocate (or not) for Students of Color and respond to racialized incidents that occur all too often within campus communities. In this paper, the authors bring together their perspectives to offer insight into how whiteness informs SAPs' response to racialized incidents and advocacy for Students of Color. They explicitly speak to SAPs in student involvement roles, as they all have experience studying and working in these functional areas.
