A Fish Out of Water? Unpacking Access and Privilege Through the Lens of International Intersectionality
No full textAccess and privilege, although universally applicable, are not nearly as universally familiar. The author shares his experience as a gay, Catholic, Portuguese-Indian, first-generation Third Culture Kid (TCK) from India and his journey to a higher education and student affairs administration program. First the author recalls his experience of being forced to check a series of boxes upon his arrival to the United States and the inherent assumptions and perceptions that ensued. Next, he shares his process of identity development as an international student and the challenges contained in reconciling those multiple identities within the predominantly White context of access and privilege in the United States. Implications for higher education and student affairs professionals conclude this scholarly personal narrative (SPN) by providing recommendations on how student affairs educators can give greater voice and support for people representing intersecting identities within the TCK context
“This Body Has Fought Hard to Be Here!” —Unearthing Mishritata: Using Drama to Map the Multiple Minoritization of Queer Desi/South Asian Young Adults in Toronto
Get PDFDespite the emergence of Queer People of Colour perspectives in education research, the lives of Queer Desis/South Asians have received little attention beyond “coming out” narratives. Addressing this absence, this mixed-methods study uses a community-grounded approach and mobilizes Desi ontoepistemologies to centre storytelling. Specifically, this study explores and examines how five Queer Desi/South Asian young adults (18–35 years) understand and negotiate their identities in Toronto, Canada.
Data were collected over 18 months in the form of a quantitative survey (N = 77), kathās (an extension of life stories), 20 hours of applied drama activities, and “time-pass” (meaning spending time with kin) with five participants, as well as archival research into the history of the community’s presence and activism in Toronto. Analyses yielded a rich framework of mishritata (mixedness) for examining the borderlands social location for Queer Desis/South Asians, mobilized methodologically and analytically to centre embodiment and affect as powerful sites of knowledge production.
This project enriches affective ontoepistemological understandings of the quotidian lives of Queer Desi/South Asian young adults across real and imagined borders. It further illuminates how drama can be used to conceptualize new models of subjectivity, consciousness, and (un)belonging to address these concerns. Survey data and life-stories analyses yielded key “disruptions” that pushed against conventional understandings of resilience, kinship, counterspaces, and structural and systemic complicities. Using drama, participants exhibited what I term khush—an organizing strategy that extends resilience research and functions as a consciousness and practice of mishritata through three discrete sensibilities: a dunya-paar (world-crossing), a transgressive, and a strategic sensibility of unbelonging.
This research calls on educators to better understand placemaking for multiply minoritized individuals living in and moving between their various communities, within and beyond sites of formal learning. By examining how drama provides a space for Queer Desis/South Asians to creatively and collaboratively engage in “truth telling” and knowledge building about their multiply minoritized experiences and future imaginings, this research contributes to the fields of ethnic studies, queer studies, borderlands studies, critical youth studies, higher education and student-development theory, applied drama/theatre, mixed methods, and community-based research.Ph.D.2022-06-22 00:00:0
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
