“…The research team engaged in careful readings of participants’ narratives to become familiar with the data and discussed the several most salient points presented in the whole data set (Tracy, 2013). “Low-inference” (Ziskin, 2019, p. 618) and descriptive codes were naturally developed to identify and organize those emerging points. The initial readings and subsequent team discussions yielded several preliminary, descriptive findings, which we shared with some study participants during their follow-up interviews and other student veterans for verification and confirmation.…”

Despite the increasing attention given to veterans in higher education, few studies have explored the transitional experiences of women of color student veterans (WOCSVs). This study examines the gendered and racialized experiences of WOCSVs and the impact of their intersecting identities on the transition through higher education. Considering the overlapping marginalities of the WOCSV participants, we grounded this study in the concept of Intersectionality, intrinsically aligned to Critical Race Theory. Based on the thematic analysis of 10 participants' narratives, this study revealed four interrelated themes that characterize their transition journey: (a) suppressed and redemanded identity, (b) fighting for visibility, (c) marginalized academic identity, and (d) no belonging. The sense of no belonging is evident through the participants' transition experiences, thus setting them apart from other groups of student veterans. However, the participants showed critical insight and resilience that evolved from their intersecting identities. In addition, they proactively constructed their own support system on and off campus, which further served as a psychological sanctuary and motivational cradle. We conclude with recommendations for institutions of higher education, including the reimagining and restructuring of the current cultural climate of veteranfriendly campuses grounded in the stereotypes of White men as the prototype of U.S. military veterans.

“…In order to analyze TLT through the lens of Critical Race Theory, we studied the language Bass used to explain and promote his ideas. Our approach draws on Ziskin’s (2019) method of critical discourse analysis, which combines ideas from Carspecken’s critical social theory (Carspecken, 2012) and Fairclough’s (2003) critical discourse analysis technique. There are a few ideas from Ziskin’s work which are important to explain before presenting how we went about analyzing Bass’ texts.…”

“…(2008: xvii) In this opening passage of the Preface, Bass introduces "imaginative leadership" as the requirement for movement into the next phase of transformational leadership to navigate such salient issues as globalization and climate change. Bass' positioning of the U.S. as the global leader, "a single superpower" evidences a global encroachment and foregrounding of whiteness by way of superiority, intellect, and priority (Ziskin, 2019), boldly positioning it as equivalent to these two universally critical issues.…”

Leadership theorizing is largely constructed from a positional vacuum, as if leadership looks and works identically across contexts, and as if those who theorize about leadership are not themselves subject to biases based on their own gendered, racial, class, sexual, and national identities. This article challenges the assumed neutrality of leadership theorizing by analyzing one of the most utilized and researched leadership theories, Bernard Bass’ “Transformational Leadership Theory” (TLT) through the lens of Critical Race Theory. Understanding that the language through which transformational leadership is conveyed is indicative of its underpinning assumptions, the tools of critical discourse analysis are employed to identify the normativity of whiteness operating within this theory. The analysis reveals how normalization, solipsism, ontological expansiveness, and the creation of “abject others”—followers—infuse the theory. Through its deconstruction of TLT, the article calls for deeper interrogation of leadership theories whose unquestioned assumptions harm not only leaders and followers identified as Black, Indigenous, or People of Color, but White leaders and followers as well.

“…Aside from this analysis, the Dahlegren & Fallsberg's (1991) seven steps: familiarization, condensations, comparison, grouping, articulating labeling, and The interpretative and descriptive analysis approach helps the author to understand how the school principals support teachers to foster student grit in their view (Ziskin, 2019). The authors used multiple cycling analysis to emerge the significant themes to understand the lived experiences of grit phenomenon through interaction, analytic memos, and associated with answering the research questions.…”
