In a larger study about academic affairs and student affairs partnerships for diversity and inclusion aims, participants were characterized as social gadflies (LePeau, 2015). These participants effectively pushed the status quo in their respective campus environments by unearthing inequities and working collaboratively to infuse diversity and inclusion initiatives in the curriculum and cocurriculum. The purpose of the current study was to examine the experiences and characteristics of the social gadflies. Findings reveal how participants’ experiences growing up in the Civil Rights Era, teaching in alternative K−12 education, and studying diversity and equity issues in graduate education influenced how they experimented with job roles and collaborated in their work to enact diversity and equity initiatives in their campus environments.

检查学术事务和学生事务领导识别为社会牛虻的经验和特征。

在一项关于学术事务和学生事务伙伴关系以实现多样性和包容性目标的更大研究中，参与者被描述为社交牛虻（LePeau，2015）。这些参与者通过挖掘不公平现象并协同工作在课程和辅助课程中注入多样性和包容性举措，有效地推动了各自校园环境中的现状。当前研究的目的是检查社会牛虻的经历和特征。调查结果揭示了参与者在民权时代成长的经历、在替代 K-12 教育中的教学以及研究生教育中的多样性和公平问题研究如何影响他们如何尝试工作角色并在他们的工作中合作制定多样性和公平倡议他们的校园环境。
