“…In engaging, for example, critiques/and validations around the "Beyoncé conversation" to push their political imaginations, students begin to critically question the ways in which individuals and groups participate in and understand the creation of their perceived social reality, and how they see themselves represented in media. I emphasize that students are critical social agents who offer important insights into understanding and exploring the complex social phenomena within their own lives (Jenkins, 2009). Media-centered conversations, for example, push students to explore multiple narratives for themselves to look at or to look away from.…”

“…Washington and N. J. Evans (1991) defined an ally as "a person who is the member of a dominant or majority group who works to end oppression in his or her personal and professional life through the support of, and as an advocate for, the oppressed population" (p. 195). In contrast, Jenkins (2009) defined the meaning of ally by summarizing : "Allies reside outside of a community or group and may have some of the privileges of the dominant group. Though they are not members of the target group, they actively support the group's struggles" (p. 28).…”

“…Though they are not members of the target group, they actively support the group's struggles" (p. 28). Jenkins (2009) proposed that student affairs professionals use the term ally in relational terms, advocate when giving voice to underrepresented students, and agent as one who acts or has the power or authority to act. For my autoethnography, I continued to use ally and advocate to describe the work I attempted to do on campus while hoping to be an agent of social justice.…”

“…Professionals who identify as social justice allies are often pulled between the administration's dictates and students' needs (Harrison, 2010). Student affairs professionals must support the needs of students while balancing the professional consequences of having feelings of isolation, little training, and the potential for job loss (Harrison, 2010;Jenkins, 2009).…”

“…Speight and Vera (2004) explained, "Oppression is structural, not the result of a few people mistreating others" (p. 112). If student affairs professionals are to promote equitable environments for students (Woodard, 1998) and serve as social justice allies (Jenkins, 2009;), it will be decisive for campuses to identify and remedy any social inequities, and recognize the importance of the "complexity of the diverse social environment" (Hurtado, et al, 1999, para. 19) to create an equitable environment for students.…”
