自从成为工程教育界的一员以来，我注意到关于描述学生经历的语言的持续讨论。在这篇客座社论中，我想重新定位围绕隐喻的辩论，特别是我们对管道、途径和生态系统的使用，因为它们与扩大参与的国家努力有关。虽然我们社会中对隐喻的监管（即人们告诉别人他们应该使用什么，不应该使用什么）让我困惑了一段时间，但直到我读了《我们赖以生存的隐喻》（Lakoff & Johnson, 1980, 2003年再版），我才能够表达出我的沮丧。这篇社论的目的是(a)揭示这些隐喻在关于扩大参与的对话中的作用，(b)介绍我所谓的“参与范式”，每一个都反映了相关隐喻所代表的先入为主的观念。这种讨论很重要，因为我们对隐喻的使用塑造了我们所追求的研究、实践和政策的形式，并告诉我们我们认为其他人应该追求什么。我们应该有意识地利用我们的隐喻想象力，并承认这些不仅仅是语言表达，而不是推崇一种隐喻。通过将这些隐喻重新定位为范式，我们可以看到每个隐喻所代表的不同先入为主的观念。
Since becoming a member of the engineering education community, I have noticed continual discussion about language as it relates to describing student experiences. In this guest editorial I would like to redirect the debate surrounding metaphors, particularly our use of pipeline, pathway, and ecosystem, as they relate to the national effort of broadening participation. Although the policing of metaphors in our community (i.e., people telling others what they should and should not use) has puzzled me for some time, it was not until I readMetaphors We Live By (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980, republished in 2003) that I could articulate my frustration. The purpose of this editorial is to (a) unpack the role of these metaphors in conversations about broadening participation and (b) introduce what I call “participation paradigms,” each reflecting the preconceptions represented by the associated metaphor. This discussion is important because our use of metaphors shapes the forms of research, practice, and policies we pursue, and informs what we think others should pursue. Instead of promoting one metaphor over others, we should more intentionally leverage our metaphorical imagination and acknowledge that these are not merely linguistic expressions. By repositioning these metaphors as paradigms, we can see the distinct preconceptions that each represents.
