Abstract This article discusses the nature of the student affairs professionalization project, by analyzing the discourses evident in and legitimized through the Journal of Student Affairs in Africa ( JSAA ). The analysis is driven by three research questions: What is the extent of the journal's engagement with the terms profession, professionalism, professional, and professionalization? How are these terms used in the journal and how do these uses relate to the social justice imperative in Student Affairs and Services (SAS)? Overall, we find a stronger social justice discourse in comparison to the discourse on SAS as a profession. Furthermore, the professionalization discourse draws strongly on notions of professional traits and high‐level knowledge and skills. Finally, this article considers opportunities for a scholarship on the development of SAS as a profession and further theoretical development of the Sociology of Professions (SoP) from the Global South.

Abstract Organized to correspond to the seven regions of the International Association of Student Affairs and Services (IASAS), this section of the monograph illustrates the capacity building of over 50 associations that significantly influence the local, regional, and global practice, theory, frameworks, and scholarship of Student Affairs and Services (SAS). The aims of IASAS and its impact on internationalization and professionalization are introduced along with a summary of the associations’ reports. Authors for each regional perspective were chosen for their expertise in shaping student affairs and services practices locally and internationally.

Abstract In this article, we provide an overview of the current and emerging professional competencies for student affairs professionals around the world, highlighting those from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Botswana. We compare and contrast competencies from these countries and conclude with implications for the student affairs profession globally.

Abstract This article outlines major developments in higher education policies in terms of massification, diversification and stratification, marketization, and globalization. Although these developments are global, their local instantiations create a diverse backdrop for student affairs and services. By giving examples from different contexts, we illustrate the various effects that the enlargement of higher education systems, their diversification, pressures to marketize, and increased global mobility have on the provision of student services and access to them. Through these windows, we demonstrate how student services have developed in different contexts and what implications this has on student access to those services. We conclude the article by presenting future topics for student services research and policy.

Abstract This article highlights the establishment of development efforts of four different associations to meet the needs of higher education, ministries, and the European Union. Each association has its niche on how students are supported based on the history of higher education, culture, and work with or on behalf of students.

Abstract This article explores the concept of Student Affairs and Services (SAS) as a global profession, how it is positioned and positions itself in the context of what it means to be a profession and reflects on the ways in which SAS has and can professionalize. The literature related to professionalization is presented along with a discussion of the outcomes of the review, which provides direction for SAS as a global profession.
