Abstract

ABSTRACT This research focused on the framing of race, diversity, equity, and inclusion through the communicative practices of chief diversity officers (CDOs) working in U.S. institutions of higher education. Grounded in applied communication scholarship and co-cultural theory (Orbe, 1996), this project investigated how CDOs frame their campus work, and employ communicative practices in formal and informal settings to design institutional policies and build campus support for their efforts. To explore how CDOs accomplish their institutional work, in-depth interviews (N = 25) were conducted with higher education CDOs. CDOs employed communicative practices that confirmed the practices identified by Orbe (1998a), and engaged in a nuanced practice of reflexive questioning. Communicative practices were all strategically employed by CDOs to advance conversations about race, diversity, equity, and inclusion in order to move campus constituents to action in support of institutional changes to language, policies, and practices.

“我们在谈论种族!”首席多元化官的沟通实践

本研究通过在美国高等教育机构工作的首席多元化官(cdo)的沟通实践，关注种族、多样性、公平和包容的框架。在应用传播学和共同文化理论(Orbe, 1996)的基础上，该项目调查了cdo如何构建他们的校园工作，并在正式和非正式的环境中运用交际实践来设计制度政策，并为他们的努力建立校园支持。为了探讨cdo如何完成其机构工作，我们对高等教育cdo进行了深度访谈(N = 25)。cdo采用了交际实践，证实了Orbe (1998a)所确定的实践，并进行了细致入微的反身性提问实践。沟通实践都是由cdo战略性地采用，以推进有关种族、多样性、公平和包容性的对话，以推动校园选民采取行动，支持语言、政策和实践的制度变革。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Communication Research publishes original scholarship that addresses or challenges the relation between theory and practice in understanding communication in applied contexts. All theoretical and methodological approaches are welcome, as are all contextual areas. Original research studies should apply existing theory and research to practical solutions, problems, and practices should illuminate how embodied activities inform and reform existing theory or should contribute to theory development. Research articles should offer critical summaries of theory or research and demonstrate ways in which the critique can be used to explain, improve or understand communication practices or process in a specific context.
