(Bonus) This is the course syllabus for the seminar approach for training student study group leaders described in the narration episode.

(Bonus) This is the published version of the narration of the article.

S02-E02 We feature one of my previous publications on using a seminar approach for training student study group leaders. I hope you find it useful.

In addition to this audio episode, I also provide several PDF documents: first, a copy of the original publication with all the references. Second, a copy of my course syllabus distributed to the students in the seminar course.

(Bonus) This monograph provides a wide array of approaches to provide access for students from academically- and economically-disadvantaged backgrounds to college and support them towards graduation. The authors are from the General College at the University of Minnesota and other colleges across the nation.

(Bonus) This was one of my first publications where I took a deeper dive into the foundations to peer learning and clarified language describing it that is too often muddy and incorrect. I then provide an overview of six major peer programs that are used at colleges globally. Since this publication was published around 2005, more recent research studies will be missing. But, some of the foundational research is shared.

S02-E01 We feature one of my published book chapters. It is “Pathways of Persistence: A Review of Postsecondary Peer Cooperative Learning Programs.” It was one of my first publications where I took a deeper dive into the foundations to peer learning and clarified language describing it that is too often muddy and incorrect. I then provide an overview of six major peer programs that are used at colleges globally. Since this publication was published around 2005, more recent research studies will be missing. But, some of the foundational research is shared.

In addition to this audio episode, I also provide several PDF documents: first, I provide a copy of the pathways of persistence book chapter. Second, I provide a copy of the book that it appeared inside. That book is named “Best Practices for Access and Retention in Higher Education.”

(Bonus) Social justice is justice in terms of the distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society. In Western as well as in older Asian cultures, the concept of social justice has often referred to the process of ensuring that individuals fulfill their societal roles and receive what was their due from society. In the current movements for social justice, the emphasis has been on the breaking of barriers for social mobility, the creation of safety nets and economic justice. Social justice assigns rights and duties in the institutions of society, which enables people to receive the basic benefits and burdens of cooperation. The relevant institutions often include taxation, social insurance, public health, public school, public services, labor law, and regulation of markets, to ensure fair distribution of wealth, and equal opportunity.

(Bonus) Institutional racism, also known as systemic racism, is a term that refers to a form of racism that is embedded in the laws
and regulations of a society or an organization. It manifests as discrimination in areas such as criminal justice, employment, housing, health care, education, and political representation. The term institutional racism was first coined in 1967 by Stokely Carmichael and Charles V. Hamilton in Black Power: The Politics of Liberation. Carmichael and Hamilton wrote in 1967 that while individual racism is often identifiable because of its overt nature, institutional racism is less perceptible because of its "less overt, far more subtle" nature. Institutional racism "originates in the operation of established and respected forces in the society, and thus receives far less public condemnation than [individual racism]".
