This book explores social topics and experiences that illustrate
the various ways in which the family unit influences and impacts
college students. In the text, the authors not only explore family
memories, but also challenge the traditional lack of inclusion and
appreciation for "family" as knowledge producers and educational
allies. This book spotlights the family unit as a critical factor
within the educational experience-one that prepares, supports, and
sustains educational achievement through both everyday simple
lessons and critical and difficult family challenges. Through these
experiences, families teach the lessons of survival that often help
students to persist in college.

While campuses across the United States have been offering spoken
word programs for over 20 years, little attention has been paid to
their purpose and impact beyond their contribution to the campus
social aesthetic. There is an increasing understanding that
performance poetry and spoken word is much more than entertainment.
Within disciplines such as English, Ethnic, Women’s, and
Cultural Studies, scholarship has identified spoken word’s
role in developing political agency among young adults; its utility
for promoting authentic youth voice; and its importance as a tool
of cultural engagement. This book – compiled by scholar
artists, including internationally recognized spoken word
performers – offers guidance to student affairs
professionals on using spoken word as a tool for college student
engagement, activism, and civic awareness. It makes the case that
campus event spaces need to transcend their association with the
theatre or art departments to provide a venue where students are
allowed to be different and find opportunities for personal and
intellectual development, and civic engagement. Open mic nights
offer college students a way to speak out, advocate, lead, educate,
and explore with their peers. This book presents a mix of critical
essays and college student writing that explore themes of spoken
word, student engagement and campus inclusion, and address these
key topics: Spoken word as an educational, civic engagement, and
personal development tool (particularly among traditionally
marginalized communities) The links between spoken word and social
activism (art as social action; art as a form of civic leadership)
The importance of privileging student voice in student affairs
programming (even when they yell; even when they’re angry)
The challenges that come with engaging students in exploring
intersecting concepts like race, gender, class Considerations for
creative and intentional spoken word programming (What does a
creative program look like?) Scaling up for sustainability (through
student affairs/academic affairs partnerships, study abroad
collaborations, etc.)

Discussions on the importance and impact of pedagogical practice on
students as whole persons are often concentrated on the P-12 or
undergraduate learning experience. In higher education, many
institutions do an outstanding job of complicating the
undergraduate classroom to include civic engagement,
community-based learning, education abroad, social action, and
project-based learning. But, what about the graduate classroom?
While there are indeed numerous graduate programs that push
students to interact with strong, meaningful, difficult, and
sometimes harsh facts, scholarship, and ideologies, the
instructional methods have largely remained stagnant. New methods
of constructing deep and meaningful learning in graduate education
is essential for the transformation and continued evolution of
graduate school instruction. Reshaping Graduate Education Through
Innovation and Experiential Learning is a crucial reference book
that offers practice-based reflections on efforts to infuse
creativity, social action, engaged learning, or other creative
interventions into the graduate classroom. The book includes
personal narratives that are grounded in pedagogical perspectives
from graduate school instructors who share their experiences with
innovative and transformative teaching practices. The goal of the
book is to encourage graduate school professors to engage social
justice education as something to be experienced and practiced in
their courses and not just as a concept to be studied. As such, the
book covers topics such as self-directed learning, counseling, and
community mapping. It is ideal for graduate-level instructors in
the field of education and other related social science areas, as
well as junior faculty as they establish a teaching practice or
veteran faculty seeking creative transformation.

2023 marks the 50th anniversary of the birth of hip-hop culture
which, as a global industry and phenomenon, has accomplished a lot.
But as a culture, what has hip-hop taught us? How has it inspired
us? In what ways has it freed us? This book presents The Hip Hop
Mindset Framework—a perspective that gives us the permission to
show up in life as our full authentic selves and to shine in our
own culturally unique ways. Centered primarily in the field of
education, this book introduces the hip-hop mindset as a
professional practice that holds relevance for students, educators,
and ambitious leaders in any profession. It is for those who seek
to innovate, trailblaze, and create a rich source of professional
magic. The author offers a fresh contribution to the literature by
focusing on what hip-hop culture has to offer in terms of success
strategies—what it can teach us about leadership, work ethic,
commitment, and resilience. Expanding the important conversations
about the power of hip-hop in the lives of youth, Jenkins explores
hip-hop culture in the lives of adult professionals, including
P–20 educators, community leaders, and organizational
administrators. Book Features: Moves beyond pedagogy and teaching
strategies to explore how hip-hop mindsets can contribute to
professional success. Examines hip-hop as a cultural mindset that
has nothing to do with the ability to rhyme, breakdance, or spin
records. Argues that everyone can benefit from a hip-hop mindset,
regardless of the field you are in, by welcoming new ways of
knowing, being, and doing. Pushes us to consider culture as a
professional practice and to embrace the nuggets of wisdom and
insight from hip-hop culture to inform how we lead and work
professionally.
Understanding our cultural heritage and sharing a cultural
community's history helps motivate individuals to take agency and
create change within their communities. But are today's youth
appreciative of their culture, or apathetic towards it?
In her vibrant ethnography "My Culture, My Color, My Self, " Toby
Jenkins provides engrossing, in-depth interviews and poignant
snapshots of young adults talking about their lives and culture.
She recounts D'Leon's dream to become a positive example for
African American men, and Francheska describing how her late mother
inspired her appreciation of her Boricua heritage. In these and
other portraits, Jenkins considers the role that cultural education
and engagement plays in enhancing educational systems, neighborhood
programs, and community structures.
"My Culture, My Color, My Self" also features critical essays that
focus on broader themes such as family bonds, education, and
religion. Taken together, Jenkins shows how people of color use
their culture as both a politic of social survival and a tool for
social change.
Many Black, Latinx, multiracial and ethnically diverse,
first-generation college students turned PhDs-tie their academic
success, achievements, and ability to navigate the difficult
terrain of higher education back to the critical experiences and
lessons learned in their home lives and through their cultural
backgrounds. For them, culture matters. This book offers an
opportunity for an anti-deficit and positive examination of (Black,
Latinx, and multiracial) culture and its role in creating
educational efficacy among academics of color. Through personal
narrative, educational and learning theory, creative
writing/poetry, this hybrid text examines the cultural path to the
doctorate. Transformative practice should be guided by an
understanding of how an appreciation of a faculty member's
cultural, life, and social experiences can be used to establish a
healthy environment that will better appreciate, engage, and retain
faculty of color. Along these lines, this text also considers how
cultural, life and social experiences translate into pedagogy,
mentorship and value as faculty of color.
