- 요약In this participatory action research study, I designed a digital storytelling program to facilitate conversations with racially minoritized students about their experiences with diversity, equity, and inclusion on campus-an elite, predominantly white, state flagship. I implemented this program with three groups of students (18 students total) over the course of nine meetings and a debriefing interview with each participant. At the crux of this study is a concept which I term psychosocial blossoming. Psychosocial blossoming is a radical process toward wholeness, humanization, and liberation that emphasizes individual agency and empowerment while honoring relationships with others and environments.I used portraiture-which combines techniques from ethnography, phenomenology, and narrative inquiry while uniquely highlighting the aesthetic possibility for research. Through portraiture, I examined the context of this project, how it unfolded, and the experiences of both the students and researcher-facilitator with regard to their experiences with diversity, equity, and inclusion. The data undergirding my analysis included field observations and transcripts of recorded group discussions; digital stories and other artifacts created by students; and individual semi-structured debriefing interviews. To present findings, I created digital stories-3-5 minute audiovisual products featuring first-person narration and author-created visuals such as photographs and art-to serve as portraits. Thus, digital stories served as both the method for students' meaning-making (within the project) and the portraits of our interactions as a collective (about the project).I wanted to bring students together to advocate for change around diversity, equity, and inclusion, yet my students largely struggled to imagine their college as a site of possibility. Students did not care to invest in an institution they felt was uninvested in them. Nearly all described ways they viewed their relationship with the institution as transactional, extractive, and surface-level. Moreover, several critiqued diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives as predicated on the assumption that students want to be included in the larger campus culture. In contrast, the students described their experiences in the digital storytelling project as affirming, enlightening, and deeply moving. Their amazement and appreciation of the structured story-sharing activity became the foundation for our community action: creating spaces of trust, vulnerability, and connection across groups of interracial strangers.In terms of impact, the racially/ethnically minoritized students who participated in this project gained social connections with interracial peers and the broader campus community; a deeper or novel understanding of their lived experiences; and an increased capacity (both real and imagined) to create change for themselves and their communities. Through this research, organizations (such as colleges, schools, or the individuals within them) can utilize the concept of psychosocial blossoming to radically change the way they engage in diversity, equity, and justice work and build more inclusive communities.
