Welcoming Scholarship: Motivation behind the Journal of Student Affairs Inquiry from Dr. Daniel Newhart, Assistant Vice Provost for Planning at Penn State University. This podcast is an overview of the philosophy and motivation behind the Journal of Student Affairs Inquiry (JSAI). Specifically, steps that the Journal takes to welcome people into the conversation of scholarship are discussed, with special attention to the support role reviewers and editors play in the publication process. In essence, the Journal was founded upon the idea that the submission of scholarship is an activity of trust on the part of the authors, and the processes of review must honor and cultivate that trust. Through storytelling, we share voices to help nurture a thriving community of individuals engaged in Student Affairs Assessment. Learn more about JSAI and how your voice is welcomed.
