Abstract

In this interview, I speak with Gail Shuck about her continued commitment to seize upon what she describes as “kairotic moments” to build a network of support for refugee students, an underserved language-minoritized student population, at Boise State University. Gail describes how she has inhabited her administrative position to work for change and “combat” monolingual ideology, building connections to community agencies, high schools, and academic partners including administrators, faculty, and students. The interview concludes with Gail’s advice to future WPAs.
