Sounds about White: A Critical Content Analysis of Collegiate Gender-Based Violence Research in Top-Tier Journals
Larry M. Locke; Olivia M. Copeland
Journal of College Student Development, v64 n5 p594-599 2023
This study examined and quantified how race has been discussed in GBV-related research published in top-tier higher education (HE) journals. Intersectionality asserts social identities (e.g., ability, class, race) are "interconnected and operate simultaneously to produce experiences of both privilege and marginalization" (Smooth, 2013, p. 11). All those touched by GBV are not homogeneous, yet much of the scholarship on collegiate GBV presents them as such. We focus on top-tier peer-reviewed journals because of the prestige rewarded for publishing in those outlets and the isomorphism of HE in general, meaning all journals are likely to manage themselves in ways that mirror top-tier journals (Bray & Major, 2011; Fay & Zavattaro, 2016). Viewing this isomorphism in relation to the racist bias that undergirds and shapes much of the publication process (Stanley, 2007), we sought to understand how the most influential journals in HE might contribute to the homogenization of collegiate GBV research.
