However, descriptions that come from diagnostic manuals exclude many people from being recognised as autistic initially, and exclude others from owning a positive autistic identity. Different examples and descriptions of these behaviours are missing from clinical guidelines. Autistic people provide valuable updates to how repetitive behaviours can be understood. This study supplements outdated and stereotyped examples of rituals and routines with personal explanations given by individuals who identify as autistic. A systematic search and mixed methods analysis of blog data was carried out using corpus-based and meta-ethnographic methods. These methods may interest researchers wishing to represent perspectives that are often omitted from research. A systematic search was used to locate qualitative descriptions of rituals and routines in personal narratives in blog data. Blogs were written by 40 adults who reported being autistic. Corpus-based analysis showed illustrative examples of rituals and routines, and meta-ethnography provided a line-of-argument synthesis for how and why these behaviours were used. Importantly, all repetitive behaviours were chosen personally by the autistic authors; they achieved a sense of control over their world. Benefits included in-moment recharging of energy and reliable ways to anticipate and reduce overwhelm. Rituals and routines used were likened to being an island, escape, or traffic light. These qualities underpinned different appearances of behaviours, including using lists, routines, rules, step-by-step guides, and schedules, stimming movements, exercising, dancing, and engagement in interests. Many different repetitive behaviours showed the specific demands placed on these authors in different environments. Underpinning functions of the repetitive behaviours were consistent over changeable times and places. The findings destigmatise autistic identity by recognising meaningful behaviours used as part of everyday life, rather than seeing autistic differences as problematic by default. This understanding can be used to inform assessment decisions and therapeutic supports that affect autistic people.</p>","PeriodicalId":100379,"journal":{"name":"Diversity & Inclusion Research","volume":"2 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/dvr2.70018","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143836145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a tactic for addressing underrepresentation and scaffolding entry, progression, and success within historically homogenous industries, mentorship is seen as a normatively beneficial practice. Yet, despite its association with greater opportunities and potential for breaking barriers, mentorship is rarely defined and how it is enacted is typically absent from discussion. Our research project tackles this ambiguity on the impact of mentorship for EDI aims and values, with a specific focus on creative and technological industries where exclusions in participation remain pernicious. Drawing on critical feminist analysis of public-facing materials about mentorship in these sectors and 40 interviews with mentorship program organizers and creative tech workers who have engaged in mentorship relationships, we outline the characteristics of mentorship activities from the perspective of three key stakeholders in EDI- corporate units such as employee resource groups, third-party companies who provide mentorship services to organizations and individuals, and community groups featuring mentorship as part of their activities. Our exploration of these three distinct models of mentorship demonstrates that the context where these activities are organized shapes their implementation, evaluation, and overall potential impacts, including for intersectional feminist aims. We conclude by arguing for the value of communal-based approaches to mentorship for more transformative outcomes related to equity, diversity, and inclusion.</p>","PeriodicalId":100379,"journal":{"name":"Diversity & Inclusion Research","volume":"2 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/dvr2.70017","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143826676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The rise of unsubstantiated health claims during COVID-19, described as an “infodemic” by the World Health Organization, exposed racial and ethnic minoritized communities to false health information (Lessons Learned From COVID-19 Misinformation Interventions &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;; Infodemic &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;; Moran &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;; Hispanics &lt;span&gt;2024&lt;/span&gt;). This commentary addresses the ways many types of disinformation, including disinformation about immigration, affect the health outcomes of Latino/a individuals. Policymakers and health officials must ensure that accurate and equitable health information is accessible to all, countering disinformation tactics that support structural racism.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Unintentionally spreading inaccurate information is defined as misinformation, while disinformation involves intentionally spreading false information and has long influenced public attitudes and behaviors (Misinformation and disinformation &lt;span&gt;2024&lt;/span&gt;; Health Misinformation—Current Priorities of the United States &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;; Milestones in the History of US Foreign Relations—Office &lt;span&gt;2025&lt;/span&gt;).

During COVID-19, mis-and disinformation spread widely about mask mandates, vaccines, and COVID's origin, exacerbating public health issues (Bridgman et al. &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;; Hadlington et al. &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;; Austin, Borah, and Domgaard &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;; Majano &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Social media serves as a primary mechanism for spreading disinformation, with over half of US Latinos using it as their main information source, often in Spanish, which is fact checked less often (Inclusion, Information, and Intersection &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;; Bennett and Sanchez &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;). English-language political misinformation and conspiracy theories are translated to Spanish to influence the Latino community (YouTube Channels &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;). Anti-vaccine advocates have long targeted Spanish-speaking populations with false information about vaccines, and this public health crisis has been exacerbated by social media disinformation (Valdez, Soto-Vásquez, and Montenegro &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;; Hernández-García and Giménez-Júlvez &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;).

Drawing from the feminist affect literature, this study sought to understand how LGBTQ+ newcomers navigate and perceive safety. This study employed an arts-based method called participatory community mapping as well as semistructured interviews to explore six participants' experiences in Calgary, Canada. The findings of this study suggest the complex and vast experiences of LGBTQ+ newcomers upon settlement. LGBTQ+ newcomers face various challenges, such as discrimination, and navigating cultural differences alongside new systems. While adverse experiences were identified, participants also described spaces that elicit a sense of safety. Entering spaces free of judgment, where one can feel authentic to oneself, and fostering community and a sense of belonging, are critical facets of experiencing safety. Several mechanisms were employed to navigate safety, including concealing one's identity, avoiding diasporic communities, or trusting one's instinct. Feeling safe is not static and inherent in various spaces, but rather, requires complex negotiations with other people and considerations for one's LGBTQ+ identity.</p>","PeriodicalId":100379,"journal":{"name":"Diversity & Inclusion Research","volume":"2 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/dvr2.70004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143115494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dutch higher education institutions, students and employees have then found themselves projected either in mandatory bilingual environments (Dutch English) or monolingual environments (English only). With the above backdrop in mind, our study first examines the discourse practices contained in language diversity policies that have been issued, authored and authorized by two universities, a technical one and a non-technical one both located in the North Brabant region. From there, we explore the discourse practices issued against anglicisation of higher education championed by institutional bodies to safeguard the status of Dutch language as opposed to those voices from sociolinguistics who stand in favour of multilingualism. The discourse analysis of the recent political, mediatic and public debates about English-Dutch bilingualism or English-only monolingualism in higher education has led to a tumultuous language policing U-turn. Such a turn has culminated with two measures: (1) consisting of reinstating the Dutch language as the language of higher education asking and (2) having universities to justify why an English language-based educational pathway should be kept in place. Contrary to common rhetoric that portrays the Netherlands as a tolerant Country toward any form of diversity, the examined discourses issued at the governmental level seem to favour a Dutch-only language approach, that while legitimate, results based on Herderian notions of: national belonging, safeguarding the indigenous student population while stressing the need to integrate the foreign ‘other’ through learning Dutch either before arrival or during their higher education pathway.</p>","PeriodicalId":100379,"journal":{"name":"Diversity & Inclusion Research","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/dvr2.70010","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143113404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through an exploratory cross-sectional survey conducted across March 2023 to August 2023, data were collected from 409 Singaporeans SOGIE minorities between 18 and 85 years old who had ever been employed in Singapore. Statistical analysis was carried out using statistical software STATA version 18, where bivariable (Pearson's chi-square tests) and multivariable (logistic regression and multivariable linear regression) techniques were used. Over half of participants (<i>n</i> = 208, 50.85%) experienced some form of workplace discrimination or harassment. In multivariable analyses, compared to their Chinese counterparts, Malay participants were more likely to experience discrimination (adjusted Odds Ratio [aOR] = 2.51, confidence interval [CI] 1.05, 5.96) and Indian participants were more likely to experience harassment (aOR = 3.22, CI = 1.39, 7.49).

Empirical studies have shown that legislation is effective in reducing prejudice and discrimination, as well as improving sentiment toward the LGBTQ+ community. In the absence of national legislation, consistently applied company policies are also able to reduce perceived discrimination and improve work attitudes among LGBTQ+ employees. Furthermore, fostering an inclusive culture that is embraced at all levels of the organization has been discovered to be a key tool in creating a supportive workplace environment.
