About What Kind of Development Happens in College with Kris Renn and Erica Johnson
Welcome to 'Round About Campus, the podcast for the About Campus magazine, the scholarly magazine of ACPA-College Student Educators International.
In our fourth and fifth seasons of 'Round About Campus, we are taking on a super-sized series focused on student development theory. We tackle big topics, ask challenging questions, and seek new perspectives on what makes this place called college unique when it comes to how students learn, grow, and change. In this episode, co-hostesses Alex C. Lange and Z Nicolazzo are joined with Kris Renn and Erica Johnson to discuss the benefits of college on development (both the unique contributions and areas of limitations/growth) and how practitioners can support students as full people with complex, nuanced lives that go well beyond the classroom and other campus spaces.
In this episode, a number of resources are discussed, including:
- Marcia B. Baxter Magold's article, Helping Students Make Their Way to Adulthood: Good Company for the Journey
- Timothy Snyder’s book, On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century
- Kristen Renn, Chayla Haynes, Alex C. Lange, Cristóbal Salinas Jr., and Rosemary Perez's upcoming book, College Student Development Theory in Action
- Inside Higher Ed
- The Chronicle of Higher Education
- Robert Kegan's book, Immunity to Change: How to Overcome It and Unlock Potential in Yourself and Your Organization
