NASPA Journals Overview

Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice

The vision of the Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice is to publish the most rigorous, relevant, and well-respected research and practice making a difference in student affairs practice. JSARP especially encourages manuscripts that are unconventional in nature and that engage in methodological and epistemological extensions that transcend the boundaries of traditional research inquiries.

Journal of Women and Gender in Higher Education

Journal of Women and Gender in Higher Education publishes scholarship that centers gender-based experiences of students, faculty, and staff while examining oppression, including but not limited to patriarchy, sexism, trans* oppression, and cisnormativity as they intersect with other systems of domination. The journal is particularly interested in manuscripts that not only focus on a gender-based group but also critically interrogate the ways in which gender has been used as a construct to limit opportunities and shape outcomes and experiences.

Journal of College and Character

Journal of College and Character examines how colleges and universities influence the moral and civic learning and behavior of students. Published quarterly, the journal features scholarly articles and applied research on issues related to ethics, values, and character development in a higher education setting.

Journal of First-generation Student Success

Journal of First-generation Student Success seeks to contribute to the scholarship of those in the higher education field seeking a research-driven approach to best practices and practitioners interested in utilizing research to inform their work. Published three times per year, the JFGSS is interested in articles that are innovative, imaginative, and forward thinking regarding the experiences and outcomes of first-generation college students and the approaches institutions of higher education are employing to serve, matriculate, and complete this population.
