Editorial Reviews

"A VP once told me that graduate student resident directors didn’t need supervision. Every bone in my student affairs educator body disagreed. Even as a director of an academic program, I have acknowledged how effective supervision or the lack of it influences ethical and competent practice. Not since Winston and Creamer’s (1998) comprehensive work on supervision has the profession been offered such a forward-thinking approach to meeting current needs in supervision as in this book. This text combines empirical research findings, a self-assessment, exercises, case studies, and reflection questions – all prompting professional development for Inclusive Supervision and the exposure of its barriers. This is a needed resource for all of those who care (or should care) about supervision."
—Jan Arminio, (Retired) Professor, George Mason University

"Supervisors who care about diversity and inclusion should read Inclusive Supervision in Student Affairs: A Model for Professional Practice. The inventory, reflection, and case studies allow the reader to reflect upon and incorporate these concepts into practice. Wilson, McCallum, and Shupp have changed the game by adding a much-needed dimension to supervision research and application– providing both the why and how behind inclusive supervision."
—Thomas Segar, Vice President for Student Affairs & Information Technology and Graduate Affiliate Professor, Shepherd University

"This book goes well beyond the typical script of Supervision Training 101. Wilson, McCallum, and Shupp offer an inclusive new way to think about and practice student affairs leadership and supervision. How do we build diverse teams where all individuals feel supported and engaged? How do we prepare staff and students to lead authentically in an unknown future? This book offers not just theory but also tangible practices leaders can enact. As we think about the changing landscape of higher education and the pivotal role student affairs must play, this is a necessary read for every educator, practitioner, and student."
—Allison Green, Instructor and Doctoral Fellow, Department of Leadership and Counseling, Eastern Michigan University
