Jan Arminio; Aoi Yamanaka; Sharrell Hassell-Goodman; Janet Athanasiou; Richard M. Hess – Journal of Diversity in Higher Education, 2024
Though advocacy and activism have been frequent topics of research, few studies explore this work across campus roles, meaning inclusive of students, faculty, and staff. A more holistic understanding of advocacy would pave the way for more effective social justice efforts. Researchers used hermeneutic phenomenology to engage with 26 advocates…

Syeed, Esa – Journal of Diversity in Higher Education, 2021
At a time of transition in higher education, college students across the U.S. are decorating their graduation caps with a variety of artistic, personal, amusing, and political designs. A seemingly popular fad among millennials, the phenomenon has become a viral sensation. Informed by a critical interpretative framework, the article takes a closer…

Pryor, Jonathan T. – Journal of Diversity in Higher Education, 2021
Higher Education has witnessed an increase in support of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) communities on college campuses. Despite this slow growth, many colleges and university climates remain largely unwelcoming to LGBTQ students, faculty, and staff. Student activism has largely been responsible for this growth, supported…

Gabriele-Black, Kaitlin A.; Goldberg, Abbie E. – Journal of Diversity in Higher Education, 2021
Historically, most Evangelical Christians have condemned LGBTQ people, citing Biblical passages establishing heteronormative sex and gender roles. As a result, Evangelical Christian colleges and universities can be difficult places for sexual and/or gender minorities, who face hostility, harassment, and even expulsion. Yet some LGBTQ students may…

Doran, Erin E.; Hengesteg, Paul S. – Journal of Diversity in Higher Education, 2021
Ethnic studies programs have recently been the target of positive and negative scrutiny in both the K-12 system and in 4-year institutions. There is a critical disconnect in the research on ethnic studies in community colleges, which serve a large proportion of racially minoritized students. Moreover, studies tend ignore how ethnic studies courses…

Byrd, W. Carson; Luney, LeAnna T.; Marie, Jakia; Sanders, Kimberly N. – Journal of Diversity in Higher Education, 2021
The recent student movement activities across the nation marked a new era in student activism in higher education.

Hypolite, Liane I.; Stewart, Ashley M. – Journal of Diversity in Higher Education, 2021
The 2016 U.S. presidential election brought to light longstanding tensions and bigotry across the country that were further exacerbated when Donald Trump won the presidency on November 8th.

Leigh, Elaine W.; Pak, Katie; Phuong, Jennifer – Journal of Diversity in Higher Education, 2021
Student leadership and activism on college campuses has received more widespread attention in recent years, with attention to how student identities inform these organizing efforts. But, how students make sense of their leadership and activism practices is less understood, particularly in graduate student contexts and for different marginalized…

Arellano, Lucy; Vue, Rican – Journal of Diversity in Higher Education, 2019
Recent student protests highlight the institutional neglect of students of color and helped to shape a national discourse on racism in higher education. This study uses critical discourse analysis to examine discourses of campus racial climate that surround a student-led speak-out at a university in the Pacific Northwest. Based on analyses of 38…

Linder, Chris – Journal of Diversity in Higher Education, 2019
Employing a power-conscious, intersectional framework (Crenshaw, 1991; Dill & Zambrana, 2009), I argue educators must understand power, privilege, and oppression to effectively support and guide learning and development among student activists. Students from minoritized groups, including students of Color, women, and lesbian, gay, bisexual,…

In 2014, an online student activist movement--"I, Too, Am"--exposed everyday racism Black collegians experience. The movement began at Harvard University and spread to universities throughout the U.S. and abroad. Student activism maintains a strong social media presence, but there is little empirical scholarship on the subject. This…

Broadhurst, Christopher; Martin, Georgianna; Hoffshire, Michael; Takewell, William – Journal of Diversity in Higher Education, 2018
Despite recent improvements for the lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender/queer (LGBTQ) students in higher education, marginalizing policies and climates for members of that community are still very present on our campuses. This narrative qualitative study, guided by the tempered radicals framework, explores how student affairs administrator in the…
