Issues addressed in the academic journals of applied fields, such as education, influence practice and subsequent scholarship, as practitioners are encouraged to remain engaged so their practice is informed by scholarly research. For those of us interested in and working to enhance the educational experiences of undergraduate students of color, we notice that, for the better part of 20 years, discourses circulating via conference program books, academic journals, scholarly books, and the overall "buzz" in the field of student affairs and on campuses across the nation have constructed Black
