Emerging Professional Identity Formation
This paper explores professional identity formation in undergraduate education. The paper positions professional identity formation within coloniality. A qualitative case study was conducted using critical theory as a guiding conceptual framework. Data collection included document reviews, observations and arts-based research methodologies. We present a case study of a speech-language pathology student, Aqueelah, transitioning from a traditional …
The matrix of linguistic exclusions impeding career construction for D/deaf learners
This study concluded that linguistic exclusions experienced by Deaf learners are created by a combination of systemic factors, which impede the career construction of D/deaf learners. Implications and suggestions for advancing their linguistic inclusion are discussed
Creating inclusive Performing Arts practices for development of youth with disabilities
Exposure to the Performing Arts provides important skills development and social opportunities for disabled youth. It is up to the 'keepers' of the Performing Arts - those in administration and management - to realign the Performing Arts in a way that can best benefit everyone
Artful Representations as Productive Resistance
In this paper, we engage in productive resistance through exploring the application of an arts-based method in expanding the critical research methodology repertoire in the profession of speech-language pathology. There is a specific focus on the value of painting in the data representation process. We explore how a playful, creative analysis deepened the critical interpretative meaning-making process. In particular, we explain how artful represe…
Case Study and Narrative Inquiry as Merged Methodologies
Case study and narrative inquiry as merged methodological frameworks can make a vital contribution that seeks to understand processes that may explain current realities within professions and broader society. This article offers an explanation of how a critical perspective on case study and narrative inquiry as an embedded methodology unearthed the interplay between structure and agency within storied lives. This case narrative emerged out of a d…
Inequity and the Professionalisation of Speech-Language Pathology
As a profession, speech-language pathology (SLP) continues to struggle with equitable service delivery to both people with communication challenges and disabilities. SLP clinical practice in its traditional form has an individual focus and therefore cannot adequately serve the large population in need, which, in South Africa is the majority population. Using the concept of social embeddedness of professions as a guiding frame, the article explore…
Professional role transgression as a form of occupational consciousness
The paper offers an introduction to an emerging construct, professional role transgression, which is theorised as a form of occupational consciousness, an occupational science construct. Professional role transgression provide insights on how individuals respond to oppressive structures within professional spaces. The construct emerged from a study that explored how occupational therapists navigate professional role transitions within specialised…
Renewing Our Cultural Borderlands
The professions of speech-language pathology and audiology provide valuable services for persons with communication, hearing, and feeding/swallowing disabilities. However, from a global perspective, mainstream practice discourses represent values from colonial perspectives (called Northern here). As such, they remain largely inaccessible to most people in the world. We argue, from a South African perspective, for a postcolonial or Southern discou…
We are Not Asexual Beings
Voices from the periphery
This article forms part of a larger biographical narrative study in which the experiences of sexuality of 16 Shona women with disability in Zimbabwe were explored. The purpose of this article is to use a single case, that of Tsitsi,to illuminate the intersectional nature of her experiences of sexuality. Her narrative is robust in illuminating the confluence of four themes found to be common across all the narratives of the larger study: 1) disreg…
