Abstract

increased attention to racialized knowledge and methodological whiteness has swept the political science discipline, especially international relations. yet an important dimension of race and racism continues to be ignored: the presence and status of scholars of color in the discipline. in contrast to other fields, there is little research on (under)representation of scholars of color in security studies, and no systematic studies of race and racial exclusion that center their voices and experiences. Building on scholarship that contends with the fundamental whiteness of academia and knowledge creation, we present results from a 2019 survey of members of the international Security Studies Section of the international Studies Association. the data show that scholars of color and white scholars experience the field in dramatically different ways; scholars of color report at greater rates feeling unwelcome, experiencing harassment, and desiring more professional development opportunities. dozens of studies across academia support these findings.

安全研究中的种族与种族排斥:学者调查

对种族化知识和方法论白人化的日益关注席卷了政治学学科，尤其是国际关系学科。然而，种族和种族主义的一个重要方面仍然被忽视：有色人种学者在该学科中的存在和地位。与其他领域相比，很少有人研究有色人种学者在安全研究中的代表性不足，也没有系统地研究以他们的声音和经历为中心的种族和种族排斥。在与学术界和知识创造的基本白人性相抗衡的学术基础上，我们展示了2019年对国际研究协会国际安全研究科成员的调查结果。数据显示，有色人种学者和白人学者对该领域的体验方式截然不同；有色人种学者报告称，他们感到不受欢迎、受到骚扰和渴望更多职业发展机会的比率更高。学术界的数十项研究支持了这些发现。

期刊介绍： Security Studies publishes innovative scholarly manuscripts that make a significant contribution – whether theoretical, empirical, or both – to our understanding of international security. Studies that do not emphasize the causes and consequences of war or the sources and conditions of peace fall outside the journal’s domain. Security Studies features articles that develop, test, and debate theories of international security – that is, articles that address an important research question, display innovation in research, contribute in a novel way to a body of knowledge, and (as appropriate) demonstrate theoretical development with state-of-the art use of appropriate methodological tools. While we encourage authors to discuss the policy implications of their work, articles that are primarily policy-oriented do not fit the journal’s mission. The journal publishes articles that challenge the conventional wisdom in the area of international security studies. Security Studies includes a wide range of topics ranging from nuclear proliferation and deterrence, civil-military relations, strategic culture, ethnic conflicts and their resolution, epidemics and national security, democracy and foreign-policy decision making, developments in qualitative and multi-method research, and the future of security studies.
