Webinar: A Phenomenological Study on Non-Religious Black Student Affairs Professionals DESCRIPTION:The Growing Knowledge Series (GKS) creates a pathway for those who have completed their dissertation\, but never published\, to share their scholarship with the profession through a hosted webinar. This collaborative effort of our three Communities of Practice is positioned to benefit practitioners and scholars alike\, creating a space to share new knowledge frequently left on the shelf. Join Dr. Tyeesha “Tye” Wesley\, Assistant Director of Recruitment\, Training\, and Inclusion in Housing and Residence Life at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro\, as she presents her qualitative study on the intersectionality of race and religion as they impact how Student Affairs professionals are able to engage with traditional higher education practices. \nResearch Summary: \nDissertation Title: “Y’all Don’t Hear Me!”: A Phenomenological Study on Non-Religious Black Student Affairs Professionals \nBrief Summary: Most research on Student Affairs practices is centered around student engagement and support; however\, this qualitative study focuses on the Student Affairs professionals who support college students. Specifically\, this dissertation focuses on the intersectionality of race and religion and how these Student Affairs professionals are able to engage with traditional higher education practices. The research study explored the lived experiences of Black Student Affairs professionals who are non-religious through the use of individual and focus group interviews. Through a theoretical lens of Sense of Belonging and Cycle of Socialization\, the experiences of the participants functioned as the data used for the findings\, recommendations\, and conclusions. \n\n\nStudent Affairs has a gap in how they are retaining professionals. If Student Affairs wants to slow the “Great Resignation\,” they must educate themselves on the experiences of their workers. Just as much as the profession pours into the lives and lived experiences of their students\, they must be willing to do the same with their staff\, who were once those same students. Professional staff members want to be heard\, they want to feel seen\, and they want to know they matter. It has to be beyond words; it must be through the non-harmful action of their peers and the administration accepting them as the people they are\, even if they are Black and non-religious. \nRegistration Fees: \nComplimentary for ACPA Individual Members \n$10 for ACPA Chapter Only Members \n$10 for Non-Member URL:https://myacpa.org/event/acpa-growing-knowledge-series-yall-dont-hear-me-webinar-a-phenomenological-study-on-non-religious-black-student-affairs-professionals/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Graduate Students & New Professionals Community of Practice,Mid-Level Community of Practice,Senior Level Community of Practice,Virtual ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://myacpa.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/download.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241121T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241121T203000 DTSTAMP:20241119T012355Z CREATED:20241119T012354Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241119T012355Z UID:16897-1732215600-1732221000@myacpa.org SUMMARY:GSNP Career Talk: Learning from Higher Ed Professionals DESCRIPTION:Join GSNP for a collaborative panel with members of Mid-Level and Senior Level Communities of Practice.

This collaborative effort of our three Communities of Practice is positioned to benefit practitioners and scholars alike\, creating a space to share new knowledge frequently left on the shelf. Join Dr. Michael J. Kutnak\, Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Queens University of Charlotte\, as he presents his study examining the process of design for general classroom facilities in American four-year public higher education institutions. \nResearch Summary: \nDissertation Title: The Process of Design for General Classroom Facilities in Higher Education Institutions \nBrief Summary: This study examined the process of design for general classroom facilities in American four-year public higher education institutions. Combining grounded theory\, case study methods\, visual methods\, and portions of the Authentic\, Action-Oriented\, Framing for Environmental Shifts Method (Watt\, 2015)\, I was able to address the four research questions posed in this study. I conducted interviews with participants involved in specific general classroom facilities design/construction while asking participants to co-create a diagram of the steps of the process. The data collected from this process produced the “Train Model of Design for General Classroom Facilities.” \nThe process begins with the specifics of the institution or college and its chosen direction. The conditions specific to the institution act as a departing station for the process. The conditions specific to the wider context function as the rails on which the train moves. The rails are held together by crossties consisting of the constant collaboration of the triumvirate and stakeholders. A triumvirate consisting of the project manager\, the construction manager\, and the representative from the academic department move the project through each phase of the design process. These decision-makers function as the conductor of the train\, driving the process while feeding it two distinct types of fuel: budget and time. The triumvirate must continuously monitor the fuel supply to reach the end of the process. In addition\, the triumvirate continuously monitors the passengers\, to incorporate their feedback into the trip. \nThe stages of the process function similarly to boarding and disembarking on a train. In Stage 1 you prepare to leave the station. You make a case for what travels on the train with you and what gets left at home. You also determine the fuel needs of the train by setting the project budget and schedule. Stage 2\, or Making the Space\, consists of the travel to the final destination\, carrying along those well-laid plans from Stage 1. The triumvirate drives the train while carefully monitoring the fuel levels. You can make a few minor adjustments once you have left the stations\, based on feedback from the passengers\, but drastically altering the plans is not a viable option. The type of train you drive represents the different ways in which the process can play out at specific campuses. A passenger train works differently compared to a freight train. The number and sequence of steps in the process of design will vary depending on the type of project you are undertaking (new construction vs. renovation)\, the available state procedures\, and the timing of your procurement of a construction management firm (i.e. the different types of trains you can take). The final destination of the train is the completed general classroom facility. \nRegistration Fees: \nComplimentary for ACPA Individual Members \n$10 for ACPA Chapter Only Members \n$10 for Non-Members URL:https://myacpa.org/event/acpa-growing-knowledge-series-webinar-the-process-of-design-for-general-classroom-facilities-in-higher-education-institutions/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Graduate Students & New Professionals Community of Practice,Mid-Level Community of Practice,Senior Level Community of Practice,Virtual ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://myacpa.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/download.png ORGANIZER;CN="Senior-Level Community of Practice":MAILTO:slcop@acpa.nche.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241112T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241112T140000 DTSTAMP:20241106T031337Z CREATED:20241106T031337Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241106T031337Z UID:16845-1731416400-1731420000@myacpa.org SUMMARY:GSNP Webinar- The Mentor Match: Finding Your Guide DESCRIPTION:Are you looking to accelerate your personal and professional growth?

This collaborative effort of our three Communities of Practice is positioned to benefit practitioners and scholars alike\, creating a space to share new knowledge frequently left on the shelf. Join Dr. Lauren N. Irwin\, an assistant professor of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies at the University of Tennessee\, Knoxville\, as she presents two research studies that aim to better understand how racial meanings\, or racialization\, shape college student leadership education efforts. \nResearch Summary: \nDissertation Title: Racialization and Whiteness in College Student Leadership Education Efforts \nBrief Summary: This dissertation comprises two studies that aim to better understand how racial meanings\, or racialization\, shape college student leadership education efforts. Colleges shape—and are shaped by—dominant beliefs about race and leadership. Colleges have a longstanding commitment to student leadership development. As such\, many colleges rely on leadership education programs (LEPs) to develop students’ leadership abilities. \nResearch asserts that colleges allocate resources based on their priorities. However\, there is little scholarship about how LEPs are resourced and how campus priorities shape LEPs’ resources. Further\, scholars have critiqued leadership education’s failure to disrupt racism and whiteness. The frameworks scholars have developed to foster diversity\, equity\, inclusion\, and social justice (DEISJ) in LEP practice neglect organizational considerations in favor of individual and local practices. \nThese studies investigate how different campuses racialize LEPs and their resources. The first study examined how LEPs replicate and/or resist whiteness. Findings demonstrated that LEPs’ integration of DEISJ varied\, despite DEISJ commitments across campuses. These varied commitments stemmed from leadership educators’ beliefs about whiteness\, social justice\, and leadership. Organizational and individual beliefs about leadership and LEP practice shaped how whiteness manifested across LEPs. The second study examined how campus resource allocation shaped LEP practice and considered how access to resources was racialized. Findings demonstrated that DEISJ was a stated priority across campuses while leadership was not. Further\, colleges often allocated resources in ways that deviated from their stated DEISJ commitments and furthered inequities. \nThis scholarship extends research and practice in several ways. To date\, no studies have used Ray’s (2019) theory of racialized organizations to study student affairs contexts or LEPs. Further\, this dissertation addressed a lack of empirical studies of DEISJ efforts in student affairs LEPs. Disproportionately\, the critical and social justice-oriented leadership education scholarship is conceptual and aspirational\, draws on authors’ experiences at single institutions\, and has primarily centered academic leadership education contexts. In short\, there is a lack of knowledge about how leadership educators in diverse campus and LEP contexts replicate and/or reinforce whiteness. Thus\, findings offer vital insights into practice to lift up transformative possibilities. \nRegistration Fees: \nComplimentary for ACPA Individual Members \n$10 for ACPA Chapter Only Members \n$10 for Non-Members URL:https://myacpa.org/event/growing-knowelege-series-webinar-racialization-and-whiteness-in-college-student-leadership-education-efforts/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Graduate Students & New Professionals Community of Practice,Mid-Level Community of Practice,Senior Level Community of Practice,Virtual ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://myacpa.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/20241013_213933_0000.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241017T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241017T150000 DTSTAMP:20241003T183203Z CREATED:20241003T183203Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241003T183203Z UID:16434-1729173600-1729177200@myacpa.org SUMMARY:ACPA Growing Knowledge Series: Racialization and Whiteness in College Student Leadership Education Efforts DESCRIPTION:Racialization and Whiteness in College Student Leadership Education Efforts \nThursday\, October 17th 2024\, 2:00 – 3:00 PM ET \nRegistration Link \nComplimentary for ACPA Individual Members\, $10 for ACPA Chapter Only Members\, $10 for Non-Members \nThe Growing Knowledge Series (GKS) creates a pathway for those who have completed their dissertation\, but never published\, to share their scholarship with the profession through a hosted webinar.

This virtual institute will curate opportunities for critical reflection and provide tools for professional practice related to examining power and privilege. \nFor this year’s institute we are wrestling with how scholarship and practice of masculinities is being enacted within higher education environments. In our communities we will find ourselves upholding oppressive norms and at other times disrupting these harmful notions of scholarship and practice. How can we hold ourselves accountable for our actions and supporting other well-being of all? Through coalition building\, we can sort through the contradictions and create new systems of accountability to foster change in academia and beyond. Participants will leave this institute gaining  \n\nKnowledge on new masculinities scholarship not often highlighted in the academy.\nCritical practitioner insights that will expand ways to make change working within men and masculinities programs and events on college campuses. \nConnections through interactive conversations to build coalitions of support across our higher education experiences\n\nKeynote Speaker: Dr. Quortne R. Hutchings\nDr. Hutchings keynote will focus on envisioning masculinities scholarship and practice that expands and disrupts binary normative assumptions within gender and sexualities studies in Higher Education and Student Affairs (HESA) research and practice. \nQuortne R. Hutchings (they\, them) is a first-generation college graduate\, proud Ronald E. McNair scholar alum\, and assistant professor in higher education at Northern Illinois University. Quortne teaches courses on college student development\, qualitative methodology\, teaching and learning pedagogies\, and dissertation proposal writing. Quortne introspectively and intentionally teaches and examines higher education as a critical researcher and educator with an equity praxis lens. Their teaching centers change and evolve of colleges and universities to meet their most marginalized communities’ needs through transformative educational and engagement practices. \nFirst Session of Educational Presentations Options  \nExploring the Motivations of Latino men who Pursue Higher Education presented by Dr. Lazaro Camacho\, Jr. \nThis session will explore the question\, “In what ways are Latino men allowed to exist in relation to postsecondary education?” The presentation will ask attendees to consider the postsecondary education motivations of Latino men from a place of agency and liberation. Using key takeaways from two studies that examined the gendered experiences of undergraduate and graduate Latino men students\, this presentation will encourage the attendees to reimagine Latino men students as change agents \nMentoring Masculinities presented by Cristian Noriega \nThe presentation will identify mentorship as a tool to disrupt restrictive and toxic masculinity ideologies within a higher education context. Using examples from a Mxn of Color Mentorship Program\, this presentation will illustrate the potential of such programs to re-define healthier and liberatory forms of masculinity. A small discussion section will be included for practitioners to talk through similar programs or how to get started in creating a similar program in their respective institutions.  \nTurning a New Page: Insights from a Black Men’s Book Club Presented by Kevin Pajaro-Mariñez \nThis session explores the intellectual and personal process of developing a community-based Black men’s book club called the Black Men’s Reflection Group (BMRG). The BMRG represents an intersectional approach that demonstrates how vulnerability and communal healing through dialogue informs equitable and inclusive practices for cultivating expansive masculinities. This presentation encourages attendees to think critically about how the BMRG model can position men across intersections of marginalization and perspectives to meaningfully contend with their gender socialization.  \nSecond Session of Educational Presentations Options  \nUnveiling Vulnerability and Redefining Masculinity in Black Men presented by Quashon Bunch \nThis presentation delves into the critical role of artistic expression in exploring and redefining Black masculinity. It highlights how storytelling\, in various artistic forms\, serves as a powerful tool for unveiling vulnerability\, breaking down traditional stereotypes\, and fostering deeper self-awareness amongst Black Male college students. By examining the intersection of creativity\, culture\, and personal growth\, the presentation underscores how Black men use art to navigate their identities\, challenge societal norms\, and contribute to broader cultural dialogues connected to their emotions.  \nBeyond the Brother Code: Black Masculinities\, Black Feminism\, and the Agency of Black Men in Graduate Engineering Programs presented by Dr. Joshua Wallace \nIn this session\, Dr. Wallace will present on utilizing Black feminist theoretical frameworks to disrupt oppressive norms in Black masculinities. Specifically\, he will share findings from my recent work which explores how agency is exerted beyond hegemonic masculinities in engineering and illuminated the influences of a discipline’s culture on masculine thinking and being. Moreover\, this study\, guided by Black feminism\, epistemologically and theoretically\, moves Black masculinities scholarship and practice toward an emphasis on divesting from patriarchy. \nMuslim Men in Higher Education and Masculinities: Navigating Challenges and Redefining Narratives presented by Dr. Faran Saeed \nThis session will explore the challenges Muslim men face in higher education\, focusing on the intersection of religion\, race\, and gender. We will discuss the impact of Islamophobia\, stereotypes\, and underrepresentation\, along with the mental health implications. Through reflection and dialogue\, the session will offer strategies for challenging harmful narratives\, promoting well-being\, and supporting Muslim men’s leadership and inclusion on campus. \nPanel Discussion \nDisrupting Oppressive Masculinities: A Jotería Microaffirmation Approach with Panelists Dr. Ángel de Jesus González\, Dr. Omi Salas- SantaCruz\, & Dr Sergio A.
