The First Five Years: What If...Student Affairs Hadn't Been Gendered

Check out The First Five Years where hosts Erica Aguiar and Agassy Rodriguez discuss the critical moments of this formative time in a student affairs career. In this episode, the production team dreams on a hypothetical world where student affairs hadn't been gendered within higher education. Using the fascinating articles by Hughes (1989) and McEwen et al. (1991) as source material for the discussion, we dive deep on the structural impacts of misogyny within our profession. Hughes, M. S.
