Book description
The fiftieth anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education decision
(1954) called us as student affairs professionals to reconsider and
reaffirm our commitment to social justice. This issue is a call to
action to student affairs professionals who are working as social
justice allies, those with a commitment to make their college campuses a
place where all community members are respected, validated, and fostered
in developing their full potential.
This issue encourages the development of ally attitudes and action in
both students and student affairs colleagues. It first presents the
conceptual foundation for social justice ally development and then
covers in depth the strategies for the development of social justice
behaviors in specific dominant group members. In each case, we have
intentionally enlisted voices of authors who identify with the
dominant and target groups on which the chapter focuses.
This is the 110th volume of the Jossey-Bass higher education
quarterly report series New Directions for Student Services. An
indispensable resource for vice presidents of student affairs, deans
of students, student counselors, and other student services
professionals, New Directions for Student Services offers
guidelines and programs for aiding students in their total
development: emotional, social, physical, and intellectual.
