Introduction

Supervision is universal in the field of student affairs. Unfortunately, most student affairs professionals receive no instruction on how to supervise. Most often, supervision is conceived as identity-neutral and we end up perpetuating systems of oppression within the supervisory relationship. We introduce a model of identity-conscious supervision so that we can, at minimum, do no further harm, and, hopefully, transform the culture of higher education toward equity and justice. Identity-conscious supervision serves as a catalyst for increased retention for professionals of marginalized identities and increased job satisfaction.
