“黑色”是一个有争议的术语。它的用法引起了很多学术争论。术语问题很重要，因为它们对使用特定定义的人和/或被纳入特定定义的人的生活产生实际影响。一项旨在探索“黑人”员工在继续教育中的经验的研究，为研究使用“黑人”等通用术语对数据收集过程的影响及其对属于该类别的人的意义提供了动力。本文探讨了使用集体术语在达成共同意义和理解方面的意义。它突出了研究的资助者和一组未来的研究机构和参与者构建和在某些情况下抵制“黑色”一词的方式。这也是对研究过程中遇到的一些挑战和伦理冲突的反思。
Abstract ‘Black’1 is a contested term. Its usage has attracted much academic debate. Issues of terminology are important as they produce real consequences for the lives of those using and/or who are subsumed within particular definitions. A study designed to explore the experiences of ‘black’ staff in further education provides the impetus for examining the impact of using generic terms such as ‘black’ on the data collection process and its significance for those subsumed under the category. The paper explores the implications of employing collective terminology in arriving at shared meanings and understandings. It highlights the ways in which the funders of the study and a group of prospective research institutions and participants constructed and in some instances resisted the term ‘black’. This is also a reflexive account of some of the challenges and ethical conflicts encountered during the research process.
