- W2495938515 abstract "An abstract for the thesis of Rebecca J. Lambert for the Master of Arts in Gender and Women’s Studies at Minnesota State University, Mankato, Minnesota Title: Student Activism: Exploring Racial and Social Justice Organizing on a Midwest College Campus A college campus can serve as a reflection of the larger issues occurring within society. In working to address topics such as racism, sexism, classism, or homophobia, student activism plays a critical role in an individual’s experience in higher education. The need for a safer campus, the desire to change university policies and various other factors contribute to the motivation for students to join campus organizing groups, but such activism is a practice that has significantly contributed to the college student experience. What may not be as apparent, however, are the strategies that are used by students to organize on college campuses, especially when those strategies might be identified as feminist techniques. In addition to the techniques students use to organize, the spaces they create for addressing racial and social justice issues are worth examining. Coalitional spaces offer an opportunity for diverse students to gather to discuss their lived experience in hope of creating social change on campus. This thesis expands upon previous feminist research on student activism and organizing on college campuses and examines the types of strategies students use to engage in racial and social justice activism. In this study, I explore the strategies and organizing techniques used by students to mobilize around racial and social justice issues at Minnesota State University, Mankato. Recommendations for future research and implications on student activism are also discussed. Acknowledgements I received a tremendous amount of support from professors, family, and friends, throughout this research process. I am indebted to each and every one of you for your unwavering encouragement in the past two years. I would first like to thank the students that participated in this research study. Each person took time out of their busy schedules to voluntarily participate in a focus group to share personal experiences. I am inspired by your passion for activism and courage to continue to address such critical issues and fight for social justice. Next, I would like to thank my academic community at Minnesota State University, Mankato. I am profoundly grateful to my thesis chair, Dr. Ana Perez, who provided insight and guidance on this project, but also on various aspects of my academic career. Thank you for reading numerous drafts of this thesis and pushing me to analyze deeper. I also want to thank the rest of my committee, Dr. Laura Harrison and Kellian Clink. Thank you for providing clarity, words of encouragement, and calmness in times of unease. All of you helped me find and embrace my scholarly voice. Third, I would like to thank my friends, both near and far. You provided a foundation of support that I stood on throughout this journey. This achievement would not be possible without the countless conversations, well-timed visits, and moments of laughter we experienced together. Last, but certainly not least, I want to thank my friend and partner, Jonathan Heald, who has been a steadfast source of strength for fifteen years. It has been an incredible adventure; I look forward to the next steps together. Table of" @default.
