Ally at Rutgers University: adopting a universal design approach to student support and accessibility
No full textStudents with disabilities are often underserved by existing support structures in higher education, and accommodations alone are insufficient to meet the needs of this population. Instead, Universal Design-based approaches are needed to proactively reduce barriers to access for all learners. In response to this need, Rutgers University adopted a tool called Ally and piloted it during the Fall 2021 term. This tool scans files and images within Canvas courses for accessibility errors and provides instructors with individualized feedback. While previous research provides insight into factors influencing the adoption and impact of other Universal Design and inclusive teaching initiatives, little is known about how a tool like Ally might impact accessibility at Rutgers, and how it might be used by instructors. This mixed methods study was conducted to investigate how faculty engaged with Ally during the pilot term, its perceived role in promoting accessibility in teaching practice, and the barriers and supports that influenced implementation of the tool. Findings from quantitative data, including Canvas reports and surveys, demonstrate that overall awareness, usage, and impact of Ally was minimal. Data from follow-up interviews suggest that lack of time and institutional support were key barriers to adoption, even when motivation and technical knowledge levels were high. These findings indicate the need to develop new strategies focused around university-wide communication to raise awareness of Ally and its role in promoting accessibility, as well as the development of policies and practices to incentivize accessibility improvements and provide faculty with resources to address time-related barriers.Ed.D.Includes bibliographical reference
Heterosexual ally development in counseling psychologists: Experiences, training, and advocacy for the LGBT community
No full textWhen focusing on advocacy for minority rights, it is beneficial to explore the role allies play in advocating for and supporting their peers. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine how counseling psychologists working in university counseling settings conceptualize their ally work, as well as how their counseling psychology training impacted their ally development. This study was guided by the tradition of phenomenological qualitative study, and constant comparison analysis served as the strategy for inductive analysis. Pre-doctoral interns and senior staff psychologists, who self-identified as heterosexual, were interviewed regarding their experiences and development with ally work. Results indicated that there is wide variation regarding how psychologists view the ally experience, but that individuals find common meaning, challenges, and training experiences within their ally development. In particular, results showed a predominant need for increased training in social justice advocacy and LGBT support within counseling psychology training programs
Facilitator or enforcer, ally or enemy? Claimant’s perceptions of insurers’ roles in occupational rehabilitation
No full textPurpose: This study aims to deepen the understanding of insurers’ role within the return-to-work (RTW) process by uncovering and categorizing the multiple roles assumed by the insurer based on the claimant’s perceptions and identifying the underlying mechanisms that explain the relationship between perceived insurer roles and occupational rehabilitation outcomes. Design/methodology/approach: The author used a qualitative approach with theory-guided content analysis to examine 24 semi-structured interviews with occupational rehabilitation claimants who had undergone occupational rehabilitation within the earnings-related pension insurance system in Finland. Findings: The author uncovered three perceived insurer roles in relation to other stakeholders in the rehabilitation network: financier, coordinator and leader. These roles have different perceived responsibilities and influences on rehabilitation outcomes. Additionally, the author found four perceived insurer roles in relation to the claimants, which varied according to their democracy and activity levels: ally, facilitator, enforcer or enemy. Based on this study, the author recommends that insurers adopt democratic and participatory actor roles (ally and facilitator) to promote the RTW process in occupational rehabilitation. Originality/value: This inaugural study applied role theory to insurers within the RTW process, developing a new framework of insurer profiles. This study reveals the dynamic nature of insurers and enhances the understanding of the connections between perceived insurer roles and rehabilitation outcomes.Peer reviewe
Aspiring social justice ally identity development: A conceptual model
No full textThe conceptual model presented here is intended to help inform aspiring allies and student affairs professionals seeking to develop social justice allies how individuals who already support diversity and social justice view what it means to be an ally. Conceptualizing these various identities can help student affairs professionals understand why some allies are effective, consistent, and sustainable where others are not and build on these good intentions to develop more effective allies. After first discussing the role of social justice allies in higher education and student affairs, the author explores the emerging schol
