“…These findings align with a number of other studies reporting on how group members enhance positive in-group identity whilst reinforcing in-group-out-group distinctiveness (e.g. Condor 2006;Condor et al, 2006;De Cillia et al, 1999;Ladegaard, 2011;Ladegaard & Cheng, 2014).…”

Building on recent investigations of the role of gendered discourses in constructing and maintaining sex-segregated professions this article highlights the significance of small story analysis for the identification of positioning acts which function as rhetorical warrants for career choices and trajectories. It analyses small stories told by Speech and Language Therapists (SLTs) and investigates the tensions expressed in the negotiation and performance of their gendered professional identities. Small stories act as a medium of professional identity construction, rapport-building and as a site of contestation, employed to (re)appraise the social order, particularly with respect to 'women's' and 'men's' work. Gendered discourses are shown to impact not only on the amount of men entering the SLT profession but also the specialisms and progression routes that men and women pursue. The analysis points to the reproductive and regulatory power of gendered discourses on individuals' experience of their gendered subjectivity and professional identity.

“…They became part of a larger set of general questions that evolved through discussion, but were fundamentally central to every interview and focus group.

Abstract-Much research implicitly suggests that journalism values arise from culturally removed organizational structures and shared occupational training. Further, few studies examine the perspective of journalism from both audiences and journalists. These omissions are important given the essentiality of mutually constructed and culturally embedded normative behaviors within journalism. This research examines audiences and journalists in Samoa, a country purposefully selected as a recently independent, post-colonial, country that relies upon a very traditional, shared national identity for it's relatively nascent identificatory cohesion. This study aims to gain a better understanding of how local culture can set parameters and expectations for journalism; how journalists negotiate culture into their own professional ideology; and how audiences understand journalism within a cultural context.

“…Building on the approach advocated by de Cillia et al (1999), we discuss both the content of descriptions and the linguistic strategies that are used by immigrants to describe the places they lived in and their experiences in Ireland, and the changes that occurred. By content, we refer to the topics people referred to when they directly answered our questions about specific places, whether these were the local areas where they lived or more abstract scales such as the nation, as well as the people who inhabit them.…”
