Educational Leadership and Policy StudiesCameron BeattyFacultyCameron Beattycbeatty@fsu.eduStudent Leaders Navigating Racial Battle FatigueSociology, Education, PsychologyOn FSU Main Campus11This study explores how first-year Students of Color develop leadership identity and navigate racial battle fatigue as student leaders in residential communities at historically white universities in the United States. Racial battle fatigue and critical race theory are applied as theoretical and analytical frameworks to explore how first-year Students of Color perceive themselves as leaders in historically white higher education environments, how they derive meaning from racial trauma, and build their leadership capacity. Through the use of counterstorytelling, dominant understandings around student leader experiences are addressed when considering the experiences of Students of Color as they navigate racial battle fatigue. The project requires 50 interviews across two large public institutions. Support from student research assistants will entail helping with the recruitment of participants, qualitative data analysis, and data debriefing meetings with research team.

This research draws on sociological and life course frameworks to understand constraints and opportunities which can contribute to longer-term outcomes. Teaching-inspired and service partnerships also contribute to assessment and evaluation projects under this umbrella, especially those with a social justice orientation. Recent work includes a randomized control study of a rent-free housing intervention at Florida universities, in partnership with the HOPE lab. Opportunities to engage in policy-relevant research with a variety of stakeholders and contribute to at least one publication is a key part of the UROP student's aims. I have published with UROP students in the past and intend to continue doing so.literature review, data analysis, coding, report editing and writing, journal article and grant editing and writinghttps://perezfelkner.com/
