in activism and advocacy for student affairs professionals. We provide an overview and history of scholarly practice in student affairs, highlight the challenges and barriers to scholarly practice, and provide a needed connection between scholarly practice and activism in student affairs. We then provide four practical suggestions for how student affairs professionals can use scholarly practice as a form of activism: (a) research local,(b) grasp the big picture,(c) tell students’ stories, and (d) put it in writing.  \nPlease direct inquires about this manuscript to: Jeff Strietzel, Jeff_[Strietzel@baylor.edu](Strietzel@baylor.edu)  \nCollege Student Affairs Journal, Volume 40(2), pp. 74-86 ISSN 2381-2338  \nCopyright 2022 Southern Association for College Student Affairs All rights of reproduction in any form reserved.  \n75 College Student Affairs Journal Vol. 40, No. 2, 2022  \ntheir work in higher education. These members of the profession sometimes express their desires through activism or advocacy—seeking change in policies and practices to advance a cause (Stewart et al., 2020) . College students, especially those with minoritized identities, desire and need support from student affairs professionals in their fight for social justice (Chávez & Ramrakhiani, 2020; Kezar, 2010) . Social justice activism is an expectation of the student affairs profession because the social justice and inclusion competency necessitates action on the part of student affairs professionals to help create a more just society. The authors of the ACPA and NASPA competencies (2015) noted a developing “shift from awareness of diversity, as implicit in prior competency literature (i.e., Lovell & Kosten, 2000) to a more active orientation”(p. 4) . This active orientation should include using the tools of research and scholarship to advocate for change.  \nBy activism, we refer to actions of student affairs professionals meant to create change that leads to a more socially just and inclusive experience for college students (Stewart et al., 2020). As noted in Professional Competency Areas of Student Affairs Educators (ACPA & NASPA, 2015), the social justice and inclusion competency requires “both a process and a goal which includes the knowledge, skills, and dispositions needed to create learning environments that foster equitable participation of all groups while seeking to address and acknowledge issues of oppression, privilege, and power”(p. 14). Achieving this competency involves seeking to meet the needs of all students, equitably distributing resources, raising social consciousness, and repairing past and current harms to student groups (ACPA & NASPA, 2015) .  \nTo develop in the social justice competency, student affairs professionals need to understand oppression, privilege, and power. To reach what ACPA and NASPA (2015) considered intermediate or advanced levels of this competency area, student affairs professionals also need to lead  \nScholar-Practitioner Activists 76  \nand advocate for change on campus in ways that promote justice. Student affairs professionals can experience conflict, however, when attempting to advocate for change, even when changes are in the interest of students within their institutions (Harrison, 2010). Harrison, in her study of six student affairs professionals, found professionals had to act against “the system” or “the administration”to advocate for students (p. 203) . Some participants experienced negative consequences for challenging institutional structures. Harrison (2010) suggested helping new professionals to “[think] through the role conflicts they are likely to experience in the job so that they can develop the theoretical and practical tools necessary to preempt some of the consequences” of their behaviors (p. 211","cbCaiiW53Z8KX8Jq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiW53Z8KX8Jq","pdf",307314,13,"English","# Abstract\n# Scholarly Practice as Activism","[{\"question\":\"How does the article define student affairs activism?\",\"answer\":\"It refers to actions by student affairs professionals intended to create change that results in a more socially just and inclusive experience for college students.\"},{\"question\":\"What challenges and barriers does the article highlight for scholarly practice?\",\"answer\":\"It discusses the difficulties that prevent scholarly practice from being effectively connected to activism and describes why professionals may face obstacles when attempting advocacy through research.\"},{\"question\":\"What practical suggestions does the article provide for using scholarly practice as activism?\",\"answer\":\"It recommends four approaches: research local, grasp the big picture, tell students’ stories, and put it in writing.\"}]","DEVELOPING A NEW GENERATION OF SCHOLAR-PRACTITIONER ACTIVISTS | PDF",1792088635,33]
