For a research–to–practice field, the implications of this are considerable. One reason for this development is the field's abandonment of what McIntyre calls the scientific attitude: a commitment to evidence and a willingness to change theory with new evidence. Here, I explore what is meant by the scientific attitude and why it is needed if the research field is to remain tied to U.S. research institutions. I then detail two signs of the scientific attitude's absence from the field's research: (a) untested and untestable theory and (b) scant quantitative research. I conclude with a call for the formation of a new discipline called the adult learning sciences, which works closely with adult education to inform its practices and policies with evidence–informed ideas. To establish this discipline, I specify seven immediate actions that researchers and programs must take.","PeriodicalId":43405,"journal":{"name":"New Horizons in Adult Education and Human Resource Development","volume":"29 1","pages":"31 - 43"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81303616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Guided by intersectionality, the article explores the ways in which multiple forms of inequality are perpetuated within academia through my own lived experiences. It also explores the ways in which I, as a WoC and an early career academic (ECA), learned to navigate the intersections of gender, race, ethnicity, and motherhood amid the pandemic. In writing this article, my hope is to adjoin the voices of WoC in British Academia calling for an urgently needed open dialog with those in positions of power.","PeriodicalId":43405,"journal":{"name":"New Horizons in Adult Education and Human Resource Development","volume":"IA-20 1","pages":"54 - 68"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84607372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The narratives capture how we, as five MotherScholars, negotiated between maternal and academic roles under pandemic conditions, ultimately unveiling our MotherScholar identity. The article concludes by drawing attention to the value of women colleagues and friendships for social support, the role of narratives to reshape family stories, and the impetus for institutions of higher education to assist MotherScholars.","PeriodicalId":43405,"journal":{"name":"New Horizons in Adult Education and Human Resource Development","volume":"104 1","pages":"28 - 39"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85095715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This text is not an instruction manual about how to become a researcher or autoethnographer nor is it a methodological guide or a research reference book. By using their own personal stories, the authors intend this text to “serve as an invitation to open up for possible connections and a curiosity” (p. xxiv) regarding autoethnography and qualitative inquiry as a discipline, respected methodology, and as a source for systemic justice. The authors Alec Grant, critical autoethnographic researcher from the United Kingdom, and Trude Klevan, then PhD Candidate and social work practitioner from Norway, engage in dialogic autoethnographic discourse, an approach that comprises of storytelling and reflec-tive conversations through email correspondences. The text examines Klevan’s progression through her PhD thesis as well as Klevan’s and Grant’s personal and professional friendship.

As women of color at a predominantly White institution we have engaged in duoethnography to analyze and understand these experiences, and to ask whether the COVID–19 pandemic and #BlackLivesMatter protests of 2020 have influenced how we navigate those experiences. Our work is guided by theories of congruence, notions of (in)visibility, and previous autoethnographic work by women professors of color. In our dialogic work we have come to understand how our ideas and our institution's ideas of diversity and justice work are misaligned. In this paper we share how these misalignments existed before 2020 and how they have shifted in the era of COVID–19 and #BlackLivesMatter.
