Stephen John Quaye is President of ACPA: College Student Educators International and an Associate Professor in the Student Affairs in Higher Education Program at Miami University. He is a 2009 ACPA Emerging Scholar and was awarded the 2009 Melvene D. Hardee Dissertation of the Year Award from NASPA: Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education. Stephen’s research and teaching broadly focus on understanding how to enable undergraduate and graduate students to engage difficult issues (e.g., privilege, oppression, power) productively and honestly and the strategies educators use to facilitate these dialogues and what they learn about themselves in the process.

His work is published in different venues, including The Review of Higher Education, Teachers College Record, the Journal of College Student Development, and Equity & Excellence in Education. He is co-editor (with Shaun R. Harper) of the second edition of Student Engagement in Higher Education: Theoretical Perspectives and Practical Approaches for Diverse Populations.
