Employing an exploratory descriptive design, we interviewed five Black faculty members in a mid-sized university in Western Canada and used thematic analysis and critical race theory to gain deeper understanding of the participants' experiences. Findings revealed that most participants have positive feelings despite overt or covert experiences of racism. The most significant highlight was the covert power struggle in the setting particularly between Black faculty members and students, and Black faculty members and some of their colleagues. The empathy and support from some deans, colleagues, and staff, along with resources in the university, have helped participants to remain in their position, make their presence known as professors and succeed in their work. Participants' key coping strategies were faith in God, resilience, and hard work. Many participants shared that mentorship and training on responding to students' evaluations will be beneficial in retaining Black faculty members, which will, overall, increase the number of Black students in Canadian universities.Résumé:Les expériences des professeurs noirs dans les universités canadiennes n'ont pas été suffisamment étudiées et n'ont pas reçu l'attention nécessaire. À l'aide d'un modèle descriptif exploratoire, nous nous sommes entretenus avec cinq professeurs noirs dans une université de taille moyenne de l'ouest du Canada et nous avons utilisé l'analyse thématique et la théorie critique de la race pour mieux comprendre les expériences des participants. Les résultats ont révélé que la plupart des participants ont des impressions positives malgré des expériences de racisme manifeste ou implicite. Le fait le plus marquant a été la lutte de pouvoir dissimulée dans le milieu, en particulier entre les professeurs noirs et les étudiants, et entre les professeurs noirs et certains de leurs collègues. L'empathie et le soutien de certains doyens, des collègues et des membres du personnel, ainsi que les ressources de l'université, ont aidé les participants à rester à leurs postes, à se faire connaître en tant que professeurs et à réussir dans leur travail. Les principales stratégies d'adaptation des participants sont la foi en Dieu, la résilience et le travail acharné. De nombreux participants ont indiqué que le mentorat et la formation sur la façon de répondre aux évaluations des étudiants permettraient de retenir les professeurs noirs, ce qui, dans l'ensemble, augmenterait le nombre d'étudiants noirs dans les universités canadiennes.","PeriodicalId":55968,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Ethnic Studies-Etudes Ethniques au Canada","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44681650","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}

Specifically, the study seeks to discern whether ethnicity and gender matter for amounts of SSHRCC's award decisions using compiled SSHRCC data and names of successful grant applicants to generate a large sample from 1998 to 2018. Although the importance of ethnicity along with gender and region, as well as institutional factors such as discipline and status of an applicant's university are explored in relation to higher education institutions' applicants, our focus is on effects of racialization on SSHRCC's decisions. We find that several factors affect the amount of grants awarded and that racialized applicants, especially men, have tended to receive less funding than non-racialized applicants over this period. In addition, on the one hand, the grant amount for racialized minorities has decreased in recent years. On the other hand, racialized women applicants received higher grant amounts than their counterparts, and particularly in recent years. Conceptual, empirical, methodological, and policy implications of these findings are discussed.Résumé:Cet article explore les inégalités dans les montants des subventions accordées par le Conseil de recherches en sciences humaines du Canada (CRSH) aux candidats retenus dans les universités canadiennes.

Bien que l'importance de l'ethnicité, du sexe et de la région, ainsi que des facteurs institutionnels tels que la discipline et le statut de l'université d'un candidat soient explorés par rapport aux candidats des établissements d'enseignement supérieur, nous centrons notre analyse sur les effets de la racialisation dans les décisions du CRSH. Nous postulons que plusieurs facteurs affectent le montant des subventions accordées et que les candidats racialisés, en particulier les hommes, ont tendance à recevoir moins de financement que les candidats non racialisés au cours de cette période. En outre, d'une part, le montant des subventions accordées aux minorités racialisées a diminué au cours des dernières années.

Using a Bourdieusian theoretical framework, the study assesses the social structures and symbolic economy of the labour market as a social field. Results show that while white men are favoured in economic terms in the labour market, they generally hold less informal (operationalized as contact with friends and relatives) and formal (operationalized as civic engagement) social capital. The conversion value of both forms of social capital is mixed and differs by group, in some instances even showing negative economic returns for racialized immigrants. Our findings demonstrate a discrete race effect for immigrants as well as a gender effect, revealing that the dynamics of economic exclusion operate with precision in the Canadian labour market to make and organize groups. Furthermore, the fragmented nature of the labour market–specifically a sub-field of transnational labour–is evidenced through distinct symbolic economies for dominant and dominated positions.Résumé:Cette étude analyse les données de l'enquête sociale générale de 2020 afin d'examiner comment la valeur de conversion économique du capital social formel et informel diffère pour les immigrants selon leur sexe et leur statut de \"minorité visible\" par rapport aux Canadiens blancs nés au pays.

Les résultats montrent que si les hommes blancs sont favorisés en termes économiques sur le marché du travail, ils disposent généralement de moins de capital social informel (défini comme les contacts avec les amis et la famille) et formel (défini comme l'engagement civique). La valeur de ces deux formes de capital social est variable et diffère selon les groupes. Nos résultats démontrent un effet racial discret pour les immigrants ainsi qu'un effet de genre, révélant que la dynamique de l'exclusion économique et sociale opère avec précision sur le marché du travail canadien pour créer et organiser des groupes.

With the increased admission of racialized immigrants to Canada, it is imperative to investigate how their sense of sociability and belonging manifests within the broader context of white-dominant Canadian society. This research examines everyday place-based experiences of settlement sociability among racialized immigrants based on the understanding that racial matters are spatial matters. Using the photovoice method, ten racialized recent immigrant men aged 27 to 50, mostly from African and West Asian origins, expressed their settlement experiences through photo-rendering of places of comfort and discomfort. The participants had lived in Canada for less than ten years and immigrated to Canada through the refugee, family, and economic immigration admission categories. Findings indicate that racialized immigrants felt comfortable in \"de-racialized\" spaces, where they were temporarily relieved from their ethnic visibility and a sense of being out of place. They were uncomfortable in areas that triggered \"racialized insecurity,\" where they felt vulnerable because of their racialized identity. The analysis further points to the emotional and embodied nature of racial experiences: participants' uneasy sense of otherness is rooted in their racialized physiques that inhabit a socio-cultural environment where whiteness is the somatic norm. The findings of this research call attention to the need for a closer inspection of how places of immigrant settlement and race are inextricably linked. The promotion of settlement sociability needs to go beyond physical proximity to social closeness, valuing co-ethnicity and cultural familiarity, especially in the initial stage of settlement.Résumé:La réussite de l'établissement des immigrants dépend de sa capacité à reconstruire efficacement la vie sociale dans la société d'accueil.

The study aimed to uncover and examine the dominant ideological perspectives and discursive practices of senior administrators in relation to educational equity. The findings uncover discourses of democratic racism across the ten narrative interviews. An analysis of the ideologies underpinning these discursive barriers suggests that change agency is related to both diverse leadership and diversity leadership–identity/positionality and consciousness/proficiency to influence change. The paper reinforces calls for sector-wide and institution-specific efforts (1) to diversify senior administrative teams, with a particular emphasis on cabinet level racial and gender diversity, and (2) to increase the level of proficiency among senior administrative teams to effect more transformative change. Moreover, the paper suggests that contemporary and critical models of leadership, governance, and organizational change are needed to meaningfully advance and account for EDI change in the academy.Résumé:Cet article présente les résultats d'une étude qualitative qui a été entreprise pour examiner les modèles de discours des administrateurs d'universités canadiennes lorsqu'ils discutent de leurs perspectives sur (1) les obstacles et les facilitateurs de l'équité en éducation et (2) la mesure dans laquelle leur identité/positionnalité influence leur capacité de leadership pour faire avancer l'équité en éducation.

The book's authors, Yasmeen Abu-Laban, Ethel Tungohan and Christina Gabriel document and analyze the shifts that marked Canadian immigration, citizenship and multiculturalism in the period 2001-2021. They argue that these policy changes can be understood through the dynamic of containing diversity–a process involving the racialization and control of specific groups, alongside contradictory impulses exhibited in all these policies between closure to threatening outsiders and openness to valued workers and citizens. This symposium further advances the discussion of shifts within immigration, citizenship and multiculturalism policy by featuring the responses of Alexandra Dobrowolsky, Shanti Fernando, Shibao Guo, J. Adam Perry, and Lyubov Zhyznomirska to key contentions of the volume. Dobrowolsky questions whether neoliberalism and securitization are the only dynamics at play. She also invites a further consideration of whether and how interactions existed between migrants and Indigenous peoples historically. Fernando asks the authors to consider the degree to which the state can move beyond the neoliberal logics that characterize current policies and embrace the authors' call for an ethics of migration grounded in care and relationality. In a similar vein, J. Adam Perry focuses on the role of an ethics of care approach within grassroots mobilizations. Guo's contribution invites the authors to consider how the process of containing diversity is linked to the increase in the growth of racism and xenophobia and what actions can be taken to achieve racial justice. In her intervention, Zhyznomirska comments on the rise of populism and questions to what extent this development may lead to a more restrictive immigration system. The symposium concludes with the authors' responses to some of these questions and in doing so, the symposium prompts a call for a broader conversation about the future of these policies and practices.Résumé:Dans ce symposium, des chercheurs de toutes les disciplines discutent des thèmes clés de l'ouvrage et des questions qui tournent autour d'Endiguer la diversité : le Canada et les politiques de l'immigration au 21è siècle.

Insufficient attention is paid to how migration and resettlement impacts the well-being of racialized men specifically, and family wellness. Employing a feminist participatory action research approach (FPAR), a culturally diverse group of men and women (12) involved in a community-based violence prevention group convened three focus groups to explore how racialized immigrant men experience migration and resettlement in Canada, and the effects of this on personal and family wellness and domestic violence. Through an initial thematic analysis and a final focus group to verify the findings with all members of the group (23), the co-researchers identified three interconnected factors associated with the migratory and resettlement processes: migratory and resettlement stress; family wellness barriers; and resilience. Insights from Indigenous coresearchers drew parallels with experiences of racialization on colonized lands. The findings underscore racism as an overarching construct that impacted all factors and, in turn, affected individual and family wellness. Changes to policies and practices are recommended to address systemic discrimination, or 'racialized resettlement,' with anti-racism as a core frame to transform support systems extended to newcomers to Canada.Résumé:La migration et la réinstallation peuvent être plein de défis stressants.
