However, such commitments and aspirational goals are not enough to dismantle systems, policies, and practices embedded in the inequitable and oppressive structures often found in higher education. The Multicultural Change Intervention Matrix (MCIM), as a framework for planned change, can help professionals meet individual and institutional goals of advancing social justice and multicultural transformation on campus. In this article, we apply the core concepts of the MCIM, first-order change and second-order change, to student affairs practice, scholarship, and teaching to demonstrate how a shift in paradigms and deliberate actions can lead to sustained and meaningful change. Illustrations of paradigm shifts in practice, scholarship, and teaching are provided.

Existing research and theories have raised questions about the relationship between these constructs, but no studies have yet explored the relationship between them. The intent of the following article is to present findings and implications that can inform student affairs practice and contribute to a better understanding of intimate partner violence.

But all the articles, conferences, and campus activities surrounding religion and spirituality rarely, if at all, acknowledge one group: students who are atheists. If colleges are to be truly inclusive, they should embrace atheist perspectives as well. This article notes that misconceptions about atheism and atheist students abound, leading atheist students to hide their beliefs to avoid confrontations. The authors suggest that it is the responsibility of educators to create an environment that encourages atheist students to come forward and share their views. That will require reframing atheism as simply another perspective for exploring purpose, meaning, and morality. Administrators and faculty members should learn more about atheism, including its history and varied definitions; create a welcoming environment for atheist students; include athei...

Through charming and disarming storytelling, Stedman offers compelling insights on how to create a better world that does not involve converting others’ beliefs or eradicating religious belief altogether. Higher education professionals will find in this book a powerful narrative of an emerging adult who is exploring his multiple and intersecting identities.
