“…Another area of research, frequently devised using content analysis or discourse analysis, reveals how colleges and universities mobilize the language of diversity in various arenas of the institution (Glasener et al, 2019;Hakkola, 2019;Hode & Meiseinbach, 2017;Iverson, 2007Iverson, , 2012LePeau et al, 2018;Maramba et al, 2015;Wilson & Meyer, 2013;Wilson et al, 2012). Of note, few studies have examined formal institutional diversity statements.…”

The purpose of this Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) was to examine how diversity is articulated via institutional diversity statements. Drawing on statements from 92 historically white institutions, the study examined both what institutions convey as significant via diversity statements and the subsequent consequences of such language. Guided by Thomas’s (2018, 2020) diversity regimes as a theoretical framework and Van Dijk’s (1993) sociocognitive approach to CDA, we consider the ways in which institutions of higher education exert control in defining the meanings associated with diversity in university life. Results highlight four discourses that functioned across the 92 statements.

“…The organization of “all others” into a single minoritized category may perpetuate the discourse that others are not normal, but are welcome (Iverson, 2012). It can also draw attention away from specific issues and challenges that minoritized subgroups encounter throughout their academic and professional careers (Hakkola, 2019; Iverson, 2012; Jones, 2006; Zanoni et al, 2010).…”

Making sense of diversity and inclusion in engineering.

The normative culture of engineering has been described as privileging certain forms of knowledge, being hyperfocused on technical content, cultivating a chilly climate for individuals with excluded identities, embracing deficit model thinking, and promoting competition over collaboration. These factors perpetuate an engineering "ideal" that has excluded diversity of race, ethnicity, gender, abilities, backgrounds, and worldviews. In response, engineering units across the United States have focused on broadening participation and making the engineering culture more inclusive. However, little is known about how diversity and inclusion (D&I) is conceptualized by those that lead such reform efforts. This phenomenological study examined how three teams funded by National Science Foundation conceptualize D&I. Interviews with eleven participants were analyzed through a critical sensemaking framework, which considers institutional context and norms along with individuals' personal experiences. Understanding these conceptualizations is critical, as it provides insight into how and why teams might approach engineering D&I work. As findings show, normative conceptualizations of D&I are sometimes perpetuated even by teams tasked with transformative change, suggesting that there is much work to be done.

“…While this initial coding was focused on understanding and coding the themes as expressed by the young person, a second discourse analysis was used for this paper (Wortham & Reyes, 2020). Discourse analysis has previously been used in qualitative pathway analysis (Hakkola, 2019). The first author reviewed those initial transcripts, listened to the audio of the interviews, and reviewed the interview notes, to map the different stages of system involvement.…”

Pathways Into Couchsurfing From Child Safety Involvement

Couchsurfing, or temporarily staying with friends, extended family, acquaintances, or strangers, is a growing form of homelessness within Australia, and particularly concentrated among youth. System involvement with child welfare and its link to youth homelessness has previously been well-established, but not within the context of couchsurfing. In interviews with 19 young people with both couchsurfing and a history of system-involvement, we identify and describe six different pathways into couchsurfing. These pathways extended from the beginning to the end of their child safety involvement, and demonstrate how fear of reprisal for reporting, fear of out-of-home-care, and lack of transition planning pushed-or-pulled young people into couchsurfing. These findings indicate the link between couchsurfing and child safety involvement began very early in the investigative process, suggesting multidisciplinary service teams that include housing support should be involved in initial contact. We also echo the recommendations of other researchers to prioritise Housing First programming and risk assessment for evaluating young people’s living spaces.
