This study draws on three major findings. First, the chapter explores why the presidential commission structure is a powerful mechanism for improving dialogue about racial and ethnic issues on campus. Former commissioners discuss its potential for addressing the complex and interlocking concerns of faculty, staff, and students of color. Second, although the commission’s structure is promising, we present numerous problems that require further attention. We discuss how the emphasis on dialogue and less dedication to targeted actions and policies may actually undermine the goals of commissions like these and further frustrate aggrieved faculty, staff, and students. Third, the chapter highlights successful and unsuccessful strategies for sustaining fruitful dialogue that lead to an increased understanding and acceptance of diverse viewpoints and perspectives. These findings have specific relevance for international faculty and faculty of color interested in ways to be more proactive in shaping existing programs, policies, and approaches to meet the diverse needs of university life.
这项研究有三个主要发现。首先,本章探讨了为什么校长委员会结构是促进校园种族和民族问题对话的有力机制。前委员们讨论了它在解决有色人种教职员工和学生的复杂和相互关联的问题方面的潜力。第二,虽然委员会的结构是有希望的,但我们提出了许多需要进一步关注的问题。我们讨论了对对话的强调和对有针对性的行动和政策的较少投入实际上可能会破坏这些委员会的目标,并进一步挫败愤愤不平的教职员工和学生。第三,本章强调了成功和不成功的战略,以维持富有成效的对话,从而增加对不同观点和观点的理解和接受。这些发现与国际教师和有色人种教师有特殊的相关性,他们对如何更积极地塑造现有的项目、政策和方法感兴趣,以满足大学生活的多样化需求。

Demographic shifts and increasing diversity have increased calls for more Black women in higher education teaching and leadership in Canada. This chapter examines how I navigate my practical and theoretical journey in academe through my ontological experiences as a Black female immigrant in large university in Southern Ontario Canada. Drawing on critical race theory (CRT) as a theoretical frame, I explore and theorize my resistance to racial microaggressions through what I describe as “navigational moves.” These “navigational moves” include decolonizing education, spirituality, self-care, and developing a supportive network. These “navigational moves” are grounded in my history and experiences. The chapter explores notions of resistance, empowerment, and sustenance as important factors in challenging racial microaggressions in academe.
人口结构的变化和多样性的增加增加了对加拿大高等教育教学和领导中更多黑人女性的呼吁。本章通过我作为一名黑人女性移民在加拿大安大略省南部大型大学的本体论经历,探讨了我在学术界的实践和理论之旅。以批判性种族理论(CRT)为理论框架,我通过我所说的“导航行动”来探索和理论化我对种族微侵犯的抵抗。这些“导航行动“包括教育、精神、自我照顾和发展支持网络的非殖民化。这些“导航动作”是基于我的历史和经验。本章探讨了抵抗、赋权和维持的概念,这些概念是在学术界挑战种族微侵犯的重要因素。

This chapter examines the experiences of Ghanaian PhD graduates from various universities across the globe. A qualitative research model was therefore designed and used to explore factors that motivated the PhD graduates to pursue their programs, challenges they faced in the course of their study, effects of these challenges on them, and how they dealt with the challenges. Purposive and convenience sampling techniques were employed to select 20 participants for the study. The theoretical focus of the study was on human capital theory. The data were analyzed using a thematic approach. It emerged from the study that job placement and security, the academic environment, family aspiration and expectation, personal desire to stand out to be visible, and availability of scholarships were factors that motivated Ghanaian PhD graduates to pursue their programs. The findings also revealed that Ghanaian PhD graduates lost most of their acquaintances deliberately, missed their families and social life, and had difficulty managing supervisor/student relationship, battling with theories, data management, and analysis. It became obvious that as part of PhD students’ orientation, they should be made to understand that uncertainty, doubt, and disappointments are parts of the PhD experience and they should not be derailed by those conditions. Universities running PhD programs should provide counseling centers and programs that are tailored toward reduction in stress factors accompanying PhD programs.
本章考察了来自全球各所大学的加纳博士毕业生的经历。因此,我们设计并使用了一个定性研究模型来探索促使博士毕业生追求他们的项目的因素,他们在学习过程中面临的挑战,这些挑战对他们的影响,以及他们如何应对这些挑战。采用目的抽样和方便抽样的方法,选取了20名研究对象。研究的理论重点是人力资本理论。使用专题方法对数据进行分析。从研究中可以看出,就业和安全、学术环境、家庭愿望和期望、个人脱颖而出的愿望以及奖学金的可获得性是激励加纳博士毕业生继续攻读学位的因素。调查结果还显示,加纳博士毕业生故意失去了大多数熟人,想念家人和社交生活,在处理导师/学生关系方面存在困难,在理论、数据管理和分析方面存在困难。很明显,作为博士生学习方向的一部分,应该让他们明白,不确定性、怀疑和失望是博士生经历的一部分,他们不应该被这些条件所束缚。开设博士课程的大学应该提供专门的咨询中心和课程,以减少博士课程带来的压力因素。

Navigating the Politics of the Academe 引导学术政治
Pub Date : 2019-05-15 DOI: 10.1108/S1479-364420190000023007

The chapter addresses the questions surrounding the politics of the academe as a reflective process. The three authors’ experiences are very different – spanning from tenured professor to sessional instructor to professor in an African university. The narratives from the authors inform the readers of their goals to join the academy as faculty; their job search; being members of the staff and then; their experiences as members of the teaching force at various universities. The chapter is based on their experiences of navigating the politics of the academe. This chapter provides their narratives of what it means to be a professor, mentor, colleague, and researcher. Each story is told from their particular standpoint: two females and one male teaching in North American universities and Africa, respectively, two Black and one racialized female who can pass, but cannot because of her name. The analysis will address numerous complications involved in addressing expectations, establishing common grounds as educators from an international perspective, and providing narratives of how we have managed to maintain our goals and aspirations as members of the academe. The tensions involved will be problematized and explored from within the context of the academy and the associated constraints therein (Tatum, 1999). The objective of this chapter is to theorize the significance of navigating the politics of the academe to deflate arising tensions that may delay your passion for teaching. The chapter is informed by an anticolonial theoretical framework in light of converges and divergences of varying colonial contexts embedded in colonial Canadian society. The anticolonial framework draws on the specific settler-colonial Canadian context (Tuck & Yang, 2012). The chapter is divided into six parts: (1) introduction that provides a general overview of what it means to be faculty at a university, (2) situating ourselves, (3) theoretical framework, (4) Universities in general and more specifically, Canadian system and Kenyan, (5) discussion that provides an analysis or synthesis of our experiences, and (6) conclusion.
本章论述了学术政治作为一个反思过程的相关问题。三位作者的经历截然不同——从终身教授到会期讲师,再到非洲大学的教授。作者的叙述告诉读者他们作为教员加入学院的目标;求职;作为员工,然后;他们作为各大学教师队伍成员的经历。本章基于他们在学术政治中的经验。本章讲述了他们作为教授、导师、同事和研究人员的意义。每个故事都是从他们特定的角度讲述的:两名女性和一名男性分别在北美大学和非洲任教,两名黑人和一名种族化女性可以通过考试,但因为她的名字而无法通过。该分析将解决在解决期望、从国际角度建立教育工作者的共同点以及讲述我们作为学术界成员如何保持目标和愿望方面所涉及的许多复杂问题。所涉及的紧张局势将在学院及其相关制约因素的背景下进行问题化和探讨(Tatum,1999)。本章的目的是理论化驾驭学院政治的重要性,以缓解可能会推迟你教学热情的紧张局势。本章根据加拿大殖民社会中不同殖民背景的趋同和分歧,采用了反殖民理论框架。反殖民主义框架借鉴了加拿大特定的定居者殖民背景(Tuck&Yang,2012)。本章分为六个部分:(1)引言,对大学教师的意义进行了概述;(2)自我定位;(3)理论框架;(4)大学的总体情况,更具体地说,加拿大的制度和肯尼亚的制度;(5)对我们的经验进行了分析或综合的讨论;(6)结论。

Abstract Louisiana State University (LSU)’s Office of Strategic Initiatives (OSI) is an award-winning office devoted to developing effective, educational approaches that incorporate guidance and exploration, increase students’ academic standing, and support measures to improve the institution’s diversity, predominantly in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) departments. Through the incorporation of three main factors, Mentoring, Education, and Research, OSI has developed a holistic development model that offers students strategies to overcome those factors that affect their persistence in STEM. OSI houses several programs with a diverse population of students ranging from the high school to doctoral levels. Although varied in student population, these programs unite under the holistic development model to provide support and opportunities to students at each critical educational juncture. OSI’s holistic approach has successfully supported over 135 high school, 560 undergraduate, and 100 graduate students. Of the 560 undergraduate students served, 51% were underrepresented minorities and 55% were women. The undergraduate initiatives have garnered 445 bachelor’s degrees, with 395 degrees from STEM disciplines, and an impressive overall graduation rate ranging from 64% to 84%. Through all of the remarkable work performed in OSI, the greatest accomplishment has been the capacity to offer students from mixed backgrounds tools and strategies to thrive at any point in their academic career.
路易斯安那州立大学(LSU)的战略倡议办公室(OSI)是一个屡获殊荣的办公室,致力于开发有效的教育方法,包括指导和探索,提高学生的学术地位,并支持改善学校多样性的措施,主要是在科学,技术,工程和数学(STEM)部门。通过结合三个主要因素:指导、教育和研究,OSI开发了一个整体发展模型,为学生提供了克服影响他们坚持STEM的因素的策略。OSI拥有几个项目,学生从高中到博士水平不等。尽管学生人数各不相同,但这些项目在整体发展模式下联合起来,在每个关键的教育节点为学生提供支持和机会。福喜的整体方法已经成功地支持了135多名高中生、560名本科生和100名研究生。在560名本科生中,51%是少数族裔,55%是女性。本科项目已经获得了445个学士学位,其中395个来自STEM学科,总体毕业率从64%到84%不等,令人印象深刻。通过在OSI完成的所有卓越工作,最大的成就是能够为来自不同背景的学生提供工具和策略,使他们在学术生涯的任何阶段都能茁壮成长。

Abstract This chapter highlights the creation of a STEM Center of Excellence for Active Learning (SCEAL) at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. The overarching goal of the STEM Center is to transform pedagogy and institutional teaching and learning in order to significantly increase the production of high-achieving students who will pursue careers and increase diversity in the STEM workforce. Some of the STEM Center’s efforts to reach its goals included supporting active learning classroom and course redesign efforts along with providing professional development workshops and opportunities to garner funding to cultivate student success projects through the development of an Innovation Ventures Fund. Outcomes from this Center have led to several publications and external grant funding awards to continue implementation, assessment, and refinement of active learning innovations and interventions for STEM student success for years to come.

Abstract The Nanoscience Project at Hampton University (NanoHU) responds to the international call for more workers in the field of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) who are nano-savvy and prepared for engagement in the fourth industrial revolution. The project’s initial intent to answer statewide and national initiatives was congruent with Hampton University’s (HU) desire for increased diversification of research interests across HU and enhanced the preparation of its students for doctoral degrees. Funded by the National Science Foundation, the five-year project (2012–2017) purposed to develop and systematically implement an integrated, multidisciplinary STEM research and education program in nanoscience at HU. Evidence of NanoHU’s success is demonstrated in the following accomplishments at the University: (1) a new Nanoscience Minor, (2) a new “Introduction to Nanoscience” course that has had a total enrollment of 82 students from STEM and non-STEM fields, (3) the NanoHU Scholars Program that has prepared 23 Scholars for entry into graduate programs and 12 NanoHU Fellows for similar pursuits, (4) a Faculty Development Program that has supported a total of 20 STEM and non-STEM faculty members, (5) a NanoHU Seminar Series that has informed the HU community about the science, business, legal, and ethical topics pertaining to nanoscience and nanotechnology, and (6) a viable outreach program that has prepared high school students (NanoHU Pioneers) for successful matriculation as STEM majors at the college level and stimulated STEM interest in the surrounding community. It is worth emphasizing that execution of the project also resulted in engagement between STEM and non-STEM constituents of the University, establishing a platform for a formal science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) institutional initiative. Efforts to communicate the importance of nanoscience to the HU community through seminars resulted in an infusion of nanoscience modules in STEM and non-STEM courses including courses in English, Journalism, Ethics, and other pre-law courses. Although NanoHU is specific to the needs of HU, its collaborative construct promises to be an innovative model for STEM and STEAM programs at other institutions with a similar construct.
摘要汉普顿大学(NanoHU)的纳米科学项目响应了国际社会对科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)领域更多精通纳米技术并准备参与第四次工业革命的工人的呼吁。该项目最初的意图是响应全州和国家的倡议,这与汉普顿大学(HU)希望在整个HU范围内增加研究兴趣的多样化,并加强学生攻读博士学位的准备工作相一致。该五年期项目(2012-2017)由国家科学基金会资助,旨在开发和系统地实施HU纳米科学领域的综合、多学科STEM研究和教育计划。NanoHU成功的证据体现在该大学的以下成就中:(1)新的纳米科学辅修课程,(2)一门新的“纳米科学导论”课程,共招收了来自STEM和非STEM领域的82名学生,(5)一个NanoHU系列研讨会,向HU社区介绍了与纳米科学和纳米技术有关的科学、商业、法律和伦理主题,以及(6)一个可行的外联计划,为高中生(NanoHUPioners)在大学阶段成功考上STEM专业做好了准备,并激发了周围社区对STEM的兴趣。值得强调的是,该项目的实施还导致了STEM和大学非STEM成员之间的参与,为正式的科学、技术、工程、艺术和数学(STEAM)机构倡议建立了一个平台。通过研讨会向HU社区宣传纳米科学的重要性,在STEM和非STEM课程中引入了纳米科学模块,包括英语、新闻、伦理和其他法律预科课程。尽管NanoHU专门针对HU的需求,但其合作结构有望成为其他具有类似结构的机构STEM和STEAM项目的创新模式。
