This study examines how preservice teachers conceptualized immigration in their online posts in an undergraduate teacher education course in the southeastern United States. Guided by a Foucauldian poststructuralist framework, we understand that in a discursive field such as a teacher education classroom, there are always competing discourses that inform students’ performativity (Butler, J. (1999). Gender trouble: Feminism and the subversion of identity. 2nd ed. Routledge). Using critical…

Leadership cultures, and the coaching conversations that arise within them, often reward visibility, rapid verbal engagement, and outward confidence. For introverted women leaders, these expectations can obscure other effective leadership practices such as deep listening, sustained focus, and thoughtful decision-making. This phenomenological study examines women’s lived experience to better understand how leadership is interpreted and how coaches can support leaders without reinforcing…

Abstract Digital discourse is a routine part of social interaction and can be used as a source of data to answer a variety of research questions. This chapter illustrates a design framework that can be used to generate and evaluate research studies using digital discourse data. Drawing on Paulus and Wise (2019) , I deconstruct several studies to illustrate how key research design decisions can be used to assess methodological alignment. These decisions include selecting an object of research…

BACKGROUND: The United States continues to experience an unprecedented overdose crisis driven by synthetic opioids such as fentanyl and the increasing adulteration of the drug supply with substances including xylazine. Although overdose education and naloxone/Narcan distribution (OEND) programs reduce overdose mortality, many overdose response trainings remain institutionally designed and insufficiently grounded in the lived realities of people who use drugs (PWUD). PWUD frequently serve as…
