Integration of addiction recovery and professional identities for counselor trainees

Counselor trainees in recovery from substance use often have a foundational recovery identity; they also develop a professional counselor identity through their training. This study utilized narrative inquiry to explore the integration of professional identity and recovery identity. Resonant threads and narrative tensions emerged from the storied experiences of participants.     

Code-switching 101: Black women counselor educators’ personal and professional identity development

The perceptions of personal and professional identity development from four Black women counselor educators were examined through a collaborative autoethnography methodology. Themes identified include (a) intentionality of code-switching, (b) inextricable identities, (c) fight for and with authenticity, and (d) mutual development of personal and professional identities.     

Investigating science teacher educator identity through the politics of domestication and critical positional praxis

The focus on identity in the field of teaching and learning continues to grow, especially when it concerns equitable outcomes for students. While most attention is placed on students' identities and increasingly those of teachers, lesser addressed are the identities of the teacher educators and researchers broaching the issue of identity. Additionally, identity research is not often linked to relationships between self, others, and transformative action. We recognize these as gaps to be addressed and offer critical positional praxis (CPP) as a response. CPP is the public manifestation of the insights gained through our sense of identity and reflexivity. More specifically, CPP is the actions (or inactions) that express who we are in response to an event in any given social context—especially oppressive ones. In this article, we draw from our own critical autoethnographies, as a context for putting CPP into practice in identity research. Our collective analysis of these critical autoethnographies revealed how our identity development was inseparable from the ways in which we have each resisted the politics of domestication. Our autoethnographies further point to the role of dissent as central to our experiences of becoming critical science teacher educators committed to equity, diversity, and anti-racism in education. We draw from this analysis to offer recommendations for how identity and positionality can move beyond theoretical constructs toward transformative personal and collective change in science education.     

Isolation,resilience, and faith: Experiences of Black Christian students in biology graduate programs

To increase participation of students of color in science graduate programs, research has focused on illuminating student experiences to inform ways to improve them. In biology, Black students are vastly underrepresented, and while religion has been shown to be a particularly important form of cultural wealth for Black students, Christianity is stigmatized in biology. Very few studies have explored the intersection of race/ethnicity and Christianity for Black students in biology where there is high documented tension between religion and science. Since graduate school is important for socialization and Black students are likely to experience stigmatization of their racial and religious identity, it is important to understand their experiences and how we might be able to improve them. Thus, we interviewed 13 Black Christian students enrolled in biology graduate programs and explored their experiences using the theoretical lens of stigmatized identities. Through thematic content analysis, we revealed that students negotiated experiences of cultural isolation, devaluation of intelligence, and acts of bias like other racially minoritized students in science. However, by examining these experiences at the intersection of race/ethnicity and religion, we shed light on interactions students have had with faculty and peers within the biology community that cultivated perceptions of mistrust, conflict, and stigma. Our study also revealed ways in which students' religious/spiritual capital has positively supported their navigation through biology graduate school. These results contribute to a deeper understanding of why Black Christian graduate students are more likely to leave or not pursue advanced degrees in biology with implications for research and practice that help facilitate their success.     

Organizational identity challenges in a post-merger context: A case study of an information system implementation project

This study examines the effects of the differences in organizational identities that emerged during a post-merger project that aimed at unifying the laboratory services of a large healthcare center that resulted from the merging of three hospitals by supporting them with a unique information system. We draw on the concepts of organizational identity and sensemaking to analyze the laboratory information system implementation project. Organizational identity is conceptualized as the mental representation that organizational members have of themselves as a social group in terms of practices, norms, and values and how they understand themselves to be different from members of other organizations. Data analysis suggests that divergent organizational identities and team members’ alternative interpretations of others’ practices, norms and organizational symbols, coexist during the post-merger integration phase. These interpretations are reflected in the final functionality of the information system that was different from the planned one.

困惑、追寻、认同——谭恩美《喜福会》华裔身份认同的建构研究

华裔美国文学身份认同研究多从作品的中西方文化冲突出发,实现从＂对抗＂到＂融合＂的完美模式,这种针对女性群体的单一主题研究,并不是身份认同的终结。笔者从后殖民女性主义理论角度,以小说《喜福会》为研究文本深入探索华裔美国女性从最初的身份困惑,到追寻族裔身份和性别身份的认同,进而实现国家身份的建构历程。这种研究范式不仅可以消弱西方社会中存在的东方主义意识形态和文化霸权,而且对全球华裔的文化身份认同起到积极的促进作用。     

员工创新行为对反生产行为的影响：心理所有权和道德认同的作用

以往研究忽视了员工创新行为的负面效应。本研究基于自我拓展理论,并对来自3个时间点的数据进行分析,研究结果表明,员工创新行为对其心理所有权具有正向影响,心理所有权对反生产行为具有正向影响,心理所有权在员工创新行为与反生产行为之间起中介作用。道德认同负向调节心理所有权与反生产行为之间的关系,并削弱心理所有权在创新行为与反生产行为之间的间接效应。本研究发现了员工创新行为的负面效应,探明了其对反生产行为的影响机制,丰富了心理所有权和道德认同的理论研究。     

我国公民体育身份的社会认同及其提升路径研究

以社会学和政治学的视角分析体育身份在现代公民社会发展中发挥的独特作用。从体育消费、体育实践、体育运动方式、体育生活方式及体育参与群体方面考察社会公民的体育身份,围绕提升公民社会地位、社会参与、生活品味,提高公民文化素质及张扬公民个性展开阐述,突出我国社会公民的体育身份认同。我们应增强政府公共服务职能,扩大公民体育参与;提高市场供给能力,满足公民体育消费;树立科学价值取向,倡导体育生活方式;鼓励组建各种体育组织,完善公共服务体系。体育身份使体育在现代社会发展中越来越受到公民的认可,为推动公民社会的和谐发展提供理论依据。
