Title: Designedly intentional misgendering in social interaction: A conversation analytic account
Authors: Edmonds, David Matthew; Pino, Marco
Abstract: <p>Misgendering – moments where someone refers to, describes, or addresses a person as a gender different to the one they identify with – is a challenge that trans people can face in social interaction. Misgendering is an interactional phenomenon but has yet to be examined for how it unfolds in conversation. Utilizing conversation analysis, we focus on what we term designedly intentional misgendering. We show how speakers utilize turn-design features and sequential placement to mark a misgendering as intentional. We also document how such misgendering is mobilized for different actions in social interaction. Speakers can utilize designedly intentional misgendering to display negative interactional positions towards trans people and related matters. Trans people can respond to such misgendering by negatively characterizing another speaker and their conduct. Our work advances existing discussions around the intentionality of misgendering and trans people's interactional agency.</p>2023-01-03T00:00:00ZA scoping review to map the research on the mental health of students and graduates during their university-to-work transitions

Title: A scoping review to map the research on the mental health of students and graduates during their university-to-work transitions
Authors: Edmonds, David Matthew; Zayts-Spence, Olga; Fortune, Zoë; Chan, Angus; Chou, Jason Shang Guan
Abstract: <p><strong>Objectives</strong> This scoping review maps the extant literature on students’ and graduates’ mental health experiences throughout their university-to-work transitions. The current review investigates the methodological features of the studies, the main findings, and the theories that the studies draw on to conceptualise mental health and transitions.</p><p><strong>Design</strong> This project used a scoping review methodology created and developed by Peters and colleagues and the Joanna Briggs Institute. The review searched academic databases and screened existing studies that met predetermined inclusion criteria.</p><p><strong>Data sources</strong> Seven academic databases and Google Scholar were searched with sets of search terms.</p><p><strong>Eligibility</strong> The included studies examined participants who were final-year university students or those who had graduated from university within a 3-year period. Studies published in English since 2000 and from any country were included. The review included studies examining the negative dimensions of mental health. The review excluded studies focusing on medical students and graduates.</p><p><strong>Data extraction</strong> Basic information about the studies and their findings on mental health and university-to-work transitions was retrieved. The findings are presented in tables and in a qualitative thematic summary.</p><p><strong>Results</strong> The scoping review included 12 studies. Mental health was often not explicitly defined and it’s theoretical foundations were not clearly articulated. The review identified factors, including a lack of social support and economic precarity, as sources of adverse mental health. Other <em>protective</em> factors in these studies—variables that guard against mental health problems—were identified, such as career preparedness and having a good job.</p><p><strong>Conclusions</strong> Despite the methodological focus on the negative aspects of mental health, people’s mental health experiences during university-to-work transitions are not uniformly negative. Clear conceptualisations of mental health in future studies will aid in developing resources to improve well-being.</p>2024-03-04T00:00:00ZGraduates’ perceptions and employers’ expectations: Essential skills in Hong Kong workplaces during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond

Title: Graduates’ perceptions and employers’ expectations: Essential skills in Hong Kong workplaces during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond
Authors: Edmonds, David Matthew; Zayts-Spence, Olga; Fortune, Zoë; Fung, Jaime Sau Ying
Abstract: <p>This paper explores the skills that Hong Kong employers and graduates see as important to have in the workplace as the result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our data are interviews with 40 employers and 69 graduates in the territory. Using reflexive thematic analysis, our qualitative findings center around four themes. First, we highlight the necessity for graduates to have hard and soft skills when entering Hong Kong workplaces. Second, we reveal the disjuncture that exists regarding the skills that graduates acquire at university and those expected in prospective workplaces. Third, we outline the perceived strength in hard skills possessed by graduates. Fourth, we elucidate the perceived deficit in graduates’ soft skills upon entering the workplace. We discuss the implications of our findings not just for understanding the workplace during the pandemic, but also in post-COVID-19 workplaces.</p>2023-12-21T00:00:00Z"Getting It Oneself" (Zide 自得) as an Alternative to Testimonial Knowledge and Deference to Tradition

Title: "Getting It Oneself" (Zide 自得) as an Alternative to Testimonial Knowledge and Deference to Tradition
Authors: Tiwald, Justin
Abstract: <p> Oxford Studies in Epistemology is a biennial journal offering a regular snapshot of state-of-the-art work in this important field. Under the guidance of a distinguished editorial board composed of leading epistemologists in North America, Europe, and Australasia, the journal publishes exemplary papers in epistemology, broadly construed. Topics within its purview include: (a) traditional epistemological questions concerning the nature of belief, justification, and knowledge, the status of skepticism, the nature of the a priori etc.; (b) new developments in epistemology, including movements (such as naturalized epistemology, feminist epistemology, social epistemology, virtue epistemology, and comparative epistemology) and approaches (such as contextualism); (c) foundational questions in decision-theory; (d) confirmation theory and other branches of philosophy of science that bear on traditional issues in epistemology; (e) topics in the philosophy of perception relevant to epistemology; (f) topics in cognitive science, computer science, developmental, cognitive and social psychology that bear directly on traditional epistemological questions; and (g) work that examines connections between epistemology and other branches of philosophy, including work on testimony, the ethics of belief, etc. Topics addressed in volume 7 include attention, epistemic virtue, Nyāya epistemology, knowledge-action principles, epistemic justice, trust, knowledge-first epistemology, transparency, self-knowledge, and moral epistemology. Papers make use of a variety of different tools and insights, including those of formal epistemology and decision theory, as well as traditional philosophical analysis and argumentation. <br></p>2022-12-01T00:00:00Z
