What is T.H.E. Scholarly Collaborative? |
T.H.E. Scholarly Collaborative is a scholar development program by and for queer and trans people. Developed and facilitated by T.J. Jourian and Z Nicolazzo, it seeks to support participants in achieving their scholarly and personal goals through a holistic, care-centered, and asset-based lens. We know that institutions of higher learning were not created with us in mind and navigating them can be dehumanizing, traumatizing, isolating, and exhausting, particularly for those of us who are in the margins of the margins as Black, indigenous, people of color, disabled folks, low-income and first-generation people, femmes, and so on. Many of us find ourselves as the "only ones" in our departments, colleges, and institutions, our scholarship and our lived experiences are not well understood or well supported or even vilified. What would it mean and look like to advance our scholarly works and careers without losing aspects of ourselves and our communities along the way, but actually nurture and deepen our connections?

Who is it for? |
We conceptualize "scholar" broadly. Our pilot program included student affairs practitioners (both entry-level and beyond), doctoral students and candidates, early career faculty, part-time instructors, and those who straddle more than one of those worlds. While most were higher education and student affairs scholars, the inaugural cohort included participants from outside the field, as well as those within contemplating other fields and career tracks. Participants used the program to work on manuscripts, conduct research, plan next term's courses, research and prepare materials for doctoral program applications , job search, work on balance, and more.
