Abstract:

Title: Why don't you just meet me in the middle? The scholar-practitioner identity of academic advisors
To effectively support college students, academic advisors must be versatile and adaptable, assuming a range of roles and identities while constantly navigating their place in higher education. Shifting through roles and identities is a challenging and nuanced task that benefits from engaging with academic advising scholarship - being able to speak to the practitioner, the administrator, and the academic. Yet it is this scholarly approach, or engagement with any form of scholarship, that often further complicates the identity of an academic advisor. This qualitative study seeks to illuminate the complexity of navigating the in-between space of scholar and practitioner identity for academic advisors through a phenomenological polyethnography. A borderlands framework supports exploring the complexity of this identity through multiple perspectives. |
