Martinez-Aleman researches topics at the forefront of higher education and campus culture. Her book Online Social Networking on Campus: Understanding What Matters in Student Culture was the first to explore social media’s impact on campus. Currently, she examines online racialized aggression, and the impact of social media on students' experiences. Her most recent book explores student sexual violence activism and institutional practice.

This status quo indicates exclusionary effects and merits interrogation. We briefly discuss the history of German colonialism to understand how coloniality pervades higher educational structures in the German context today. Two proposals addressing coloniality in German higher education are made: the development of structures centering diverse faculty and the support of ethnic and identity studies.

McQuillan (Boston College) Paper Abstract: Drawing on the work of Leadership Academy with early career, urban school principals from charter, district and Catholic schools, this paper employs the complex adaptive system model to understand the experience of these urban school leaders--conceptualizing their work in both qualitative and quantitative way--as a means to gain insight into effective educational change strategies.

The study employed qualitative cognitive interviews with 28 persons of color in the U.S. Findings suggest that the CMI may not be a suitable measure for accurately assessing relational trust across different racial groups on social media due to generational change in consciousness about race relations, and the perceived ambiguity of the CMI items. Findings also reveal that the CMI is limited in its ability to assess racial trust on social media and may not account for how trust manifests across different social media platforms. These findings suggest that the continued use of the CMI to assess contemporary interracial relationships is not recommended.

This chapter employs a critical lens to examine gender inequity in the academic profession, particularly through the perception of women faculty of the Boomer generation. The Boomer generation’s unique place in the history of women’s advancement in the academic profession provides us with a distinctive context through which to assess gender equity in the academic profession.
