The latest Journal of Student Affairs in Africa is focused on student activism and its impact in higher education. Activism is an issue that ebbs and flows throughout higher education's history and takes different forms in different cultures but, rest assured, it is there. The question for student affairs educators is what role should we play when activism is on the rise? Should we stand away from it, engage it, or encourage it?
Some student affairs and other administrators would determine their stance based on politics. Student affairs educators will balance the politics with the educational outcome. Activism can be a very catalytic moment for learning and student affairs educators can help make it positive by carefully engaging in educationally purposeful ways.
