'Round About Campus
Want to think about transformational work in higher education? Each month, ‘Round About Campus hosts Alex and Z talk with people across the higher education and student affairs landscape about ways to envision new, innovative, and engaging ways to further college student learning and development. A compliment to the About Campus scholarly magazine, ‘Round About Campus serves up bite-sized episodes where we can be good company with listeners as we collective explore answers to the question: what’s next in student affairs praxis?
‘Round About Campus is co-hostessed by Dr. Alex Lange (Colorado State University) and About Campus Executive Editor Dr. Z Nicolazzo (University of Arizona). The podcast publishes episodes during the academic calendar year, taking breaks for summer and winter leaves.

About Authoring for a Magazine with Sharon Stein and Ryan Terry
Welcome to 'Round About Campus, the podcast for the About Campus magazine, the scholarly magazine of ACPA-College Student Educators International.
In our second season of 'Round About Campus, we take a 'behind the scenes' look at how About Campus works by talking to various people involved in making the magic happen. In this episode, co-hostesses Alex C. Lange and Z Nicolazzo talk with Sharon Stein and Ryan Terry, both of whom are authors of articles in the November/December 2024 issue (Vol. 29, Issue 5) of About Campus.
Dr. Sharon Stein is a white settler, scholar and educator, and associate professor in the Department of Educational Studies at the University of British Columbia. Her work asks how higher education can prepare people to navigate social and ecological challenges in critically engaged, relationally rigorous and intergenerational responsible ways. In particular, she examines the complexities of confronting difficult truths about colonialism and climate change and enacting regenerative and reparative forms of social and institutional change. She is the author of Unsettling the University: Confronting the Colonial Foundations of U.S. Higher Education, founder of the Critical Internationalization Studies Network, and one of the co-founders of the Gesturing Towards Decolonial Futures collective.
Ryan Terry has worked in higher education for ten years, mostly in housing and residence life. He is currently an Assistant Director of Residence Life at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. He holds a PhD from the University of Georgia and a master's from Canisius University.
