The nursing profession and academic environments are increasingly calling for nurse educators to incorporate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) goals and actions into their professional practice. Such work aligns with institutional and professional missions of social justice and antiracism.
Historically, there has been an undervaluing and lack of recognition in academia of DEI contributions and qualitative or community-based research focused on health equity. This lack of recognition may disproportionately impact faculty who focus their scholarship and research on marginalized communities.
The current state of the academic review of DEI contributions for appointment, promotion, and tenure is presented. Examples for teaching, research and scholarship, practice, and service are provided.
Recommendations include expanding recognition and evaluation of academic scholarship and advocacy against efforts to dismantle social justice and antiracism advances within academia.
Examining hegemonic norms is vital to promote more equitable power structures in academic environments.
护理行业和学术环境越来越要求护士教育者将多样性、公平性和包容性(DEI)目标和行动纳入其专业实践中。这些工作符合机构和专业的社会正义和反种族主义使命。
历史上,学术界对 DEI 贡献以及关注健康公平的定性或基于社区的研究一直重视不够,也没有得到认可。这种缺乏认可的情况可能会不成比例地影响那些将奖学金和研究集中在边缘化社区的教师。
介绍了目前对 DEI 贡献进行任命、晋升和终身教职评审的情况。提供了教学、研究和奖学金、实践和服务方面的例子。
建议包括扩大对学术奖学金的认可和评估,反对在学术界努力破坏社会正义和反种族主义的进展。
检查霸权规范对于促进学术环境中更公平的权力结构至关重要。
