However, their participation is often reliant on chapter practices which may traditionally be rooted in exclusion. The struggle to integrate diversity, equity, and inclusivity practices within these organizations has become evident given the changing tides of our institutional climate. This chapter will address the process taken at California State University, Fullerton's Fraternity and Sorority Life (FSL) area to bridge the gap of developing both inclusive conversations and environments for Historically White Fraternal Organizations (HWFO) on campus. Consequently, this chapter aims to demonstrate how change and resistance to the dominant narrative can be accomplished through implementation of intentional, thought-provoking rhetoric, curriculum, and conversation to change the perspective of students and how they can act as agents of change to create inclusive environments.","PeriodicalId":380564,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Research on Leading Higher Education Transformation With Social Justice, Equity, and Inclusion","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128314725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many institutions have failed to attend to their students, faculty, and staff of color while focusing on providing “safe” places for the uninformed. Such efforts seem to have led to an extreme complacency of those who need to change the most to become disillusioned that they have done more than enough to contribute to race dialogues on campus. In the current sociopolitical climate in the United States, the U.S. higher education is facing unprecedented pressure to attend to the fundamental tension between those two worlds. In the Japanese language, ichigo-ichie (一期一会) is a famous saying that embodies the spirit of 'here and now'. Translated as “one time, one meeting,” it symbolizes the critical importance of how one encounter could lead to transformational changes. Contrary to the noble concept of 'trying again' many times before succeeding, ichigo-ichie poses this question: What if all we have is one time, one encounter, and one chance to get it right?","PeriodicalId":380564,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Research on Leading Higher Education Transformation With Social Justice, Equity, and Inclusion","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127864304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They see these two goals—of cultivating compassion within themselves, among students, and across institutional dialogue—as equally important parts of a fuller conversation on working towards social justice, equity, and inclusion. The goal in this chapter is to present a model for university leadership and educators that can identify the multiple levels of interlocution needed in institutions in order to foster a welcoming and compassionate environment for all.","PeriodicalId":380564,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Research on Leading Higher Education Transformation With Social Justice, Equity, and Inclusion","volume":"388 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116393236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using an intersectional feminist lens in semi-structured interviews, the participants' critical reflections led to the emergence of the following categories of findings: an awareness of self and power structures, leveraging power and privilege for others, and steps towards disruption of current power systems and structures.

However, racist campus climates and exclusionary practices persist because institutions of higher education themselves are structurally rooted in whiteness and white supremacy. In this chapter, the authors connect their social and political subjectivities as white scholars with their dedication to the dismantling of structures of whiteness within higher education in order to present one way to transform institutions. Through the presentation of theoretical and practical examples, they make the case that it is the shared responsibility of white leaders across the spectrum of higher education to take action against the racialized policies and norms that privilege white people by examining and abolishing institutional structures that support whiteness. Ultimately, the fight for equity and justice in higher education must center the challenging of structural manifestations of whiteness.","PeriodicalId":380564,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Research on Leading Higher Education Transformation With Social Justice, Equity, and Inclusion","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125155615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Public work takes many forms, including direct service, research, service-learning, and civic engagement. When developing community-based programs and courses, faculty and community engagement professionals (CEP) must consider how to account for power differentials, grapple with root causes, and challenge dominant narratives so as to avoid reinforcing harmful stereotypes. This critical approach to community engagement may result in a justice-orientation to community work. In this chapter, the author explores various modes of community engagement, discusses the central considerations in designing opportunities for students, and describes justice-oriented engagement. In addition, the author reflects on her own experiences and describes the competencies required of a justice-oriented CEP.
