Title: | Integration, negotiation, interrogation: Gendered-racialised barriers to the socialisation of doctoral students in Belgian higher education | Authors: | BOURABAIN, Dounia | Issue Date: | 2024 | Publisher: | WILEY | Source: | European Journal of Education, | Status: | Early view | Abstract: | In this paper, I discuss the gendered-racialised interactional and contextual dynamics hindering the socialisation of ethnic minoritised women (EMW) within Belgian higher education. Based on in-depth interviews, I develop the concept of 'socialisation climates' to explain the key aspects that determine EMW's socialisation process. Three socialisation climates are identified: integration, negotiation and interrogation. Findings show that insiders play a crucial role in hindering or facilitating EMW's socialisation. Developmental relationships are gendered-racialised relations in which EMW's identity impacts supervisor and peer support. The departmental context in terms of hierarchy, an Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion culture, and team composition is relevant to their socialisation process. EMW are able to socialise rapidly only in a context that is (radically) inclusive which is still rare in academia. This paper informs higher education institutions to be aware of the gendered-racialised climate and interactions that influence EMW's socialisation and increase the risk of pushing them out. | Notes: | Bourabain, D (corresponding author), Hasselt Univ, Sch Social Sci, Martelarenlaan 42, B-3500 Hasselt, Belgium. dounia.bourabain@uhasselt.be |
