This study explores community college leaders’ motivations in starting, learning experiences during, and takeaways following participation in doctoral community college leadership programs. Methods: This narrative inquiry study draws on action learning as the theoretical framework and entails interviews with 19 community college administrators who graduated from doctoral community college leadership programs. Results: Findings are threefold, each related to the distinct pieces associated with the research questions at hand. Students’ motivations for enrolling in programing stem from financial and geographic accessibility, institutional credibility, personal fulfillment, and desires to advance their careers. During their time in programs, students benefited from curriculum that prepared them for their dissertations, cohort-based approaches that afforded community, and applicable assignments and activities that directly related to their roles as community college practitioners. Following their doctorate, students reflected on the value of having this degree for propelling their careers and recommended opportunities for programmatic improvement. Conclusion/Contributions: These findings offer new perspective into what doctoral community college leadership programs accomplish in supporting students’ objectives and professional practices, and also unveil ideas toward programmatic adjustments.}, journal={Community College Review}, author={Nachman, Brett Ranon and Pryor, Jonathan T. and Miller, Michael T.}, year={2024}, month={Apr} } @article{nachman_2024, title={“What Do We Have to Do?” Community College CTE Faculty Perceptions, Preparedness, and Propositions in Supporting Disabled Students’ Employment Opportunities}, url={https://doi.org/10.1177/00915521231222273}, DOI={10.1177/00915521231222273}, abstractNote={Objective/Research Question: The purpose of this grounded theory study is to explore how community college CTE faculty members aim to support disabled students in their career pursuits.

The emergence of the North Carolina Community College System’s NC Career Coach Program, stemming from North Carolina General Statute 115D–21.5, is one such illustration. Through situating career coaches – community college staff – in local high schools to provide students with resources and opportunities for academic and professional growth, the NC Career Coach Program is meeting the needs of the state and its stakeholders. The purpose of this study is to explore how North Carolina career coaches use career capital to support high school students’ career and college goals. This study proposes a conceptual framework grounded in social and career capital. Adopting a qualitative case study approach, we drew on surveys, interviews, focus groups, and documents to understand how coaches serve students in their professional and/or postsecondary pursuits. Findings indicate that career coaches serve as a connector among students, the college, and industry employers, forming relationships with each group, and importantly, developing trust with students and their families to support students’ college and career goals. In so doing they bolster students’ social and career capital, as well as honor the NC Career Coach Program’s mission to serve under-resourced communities across the state.

Indeed, the institutions, practices, and culture of autism research have largely been shaped by nonautistic people. Insofar as nonautistic people may struggle to understand autistic perspectives and communicate effectively with autistic people, as suggested by the concept of the double empathy problem and by empirical research, this could have serious repercussions for the quality and relevance of autism research. Fortunately, a growing number of openly autistic scholars have begun to make their presence known in the autism field. For example, autistic researchers are visible in the Participatory Autism Research Collective, in the International Society for Autism Research (INSAR) Autistic Researchers Committee, in social media groups for autistic researchers, and via the #AutisticsinAcademia hashtag, and through numerous other initiatives and organizations, including this journal. Although these autistic autism researchers might be well positioned to act as a countervailing force against the double empathy problem, being autistic in a field shaped and dominated by nonautistic people could also be a source of challenges and tensions. Unfortunately, no academic articles focusing on autistic scholars in autism research currently exist in the literature, which could impede efforts to promote the success of autistic autism researchers. This roundtable discussion provides an initial exploration of this important topic. This discussion focuses specifically on autistic scholars—such as graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty—who are conducting autism and disability research. We chose this focus to allow a more in-depth discussion. As such, this roundtable does not focus on the involvement of autistic people in autism research as community partners or coresearchers. Although the involvement of autistic community members in research teams is an important topic for the field, it has been discussed in other publications. Furthermore, while the accessibility of university-based clinical programs (e.g., medical, education, social work, and clinical psychology) does affect the representation of autistic people in occupations that are responsible for providing important services and supports to autistic individuals, this is a distinct and separate topic from autism research. Finally, this roundtable does not explore experiences of autistic people conducting research in fields unrelated to autism. It is possible that being an autistic researcher in nonautism fields may be associated with some tensions and challenges that meaningfully differ from tensions facing autistic autism researchers.}, journal={AUTISM IN ADULTHOOD}, publisher={Mary Ann Liebert Inc}, author={Dwyer, Patrick and Acevedo, Sara M. and Brown, Heather M. and Grapel, Jordan and Jones, Sandra C. and Nachman, Brett Ranon and Raymaker, Dora M. and Williams, Zachary J.}, year={2021}, month={Aug} } @inproceedings{nachman_2021, title={Building self-advocacy: Learning from autistic community college students’ experiences}, author={Nachman, B.R.}, year={2021}, month={Oct} } @article{pryor_nachman_2021, title={Conceptualizing Digital Campus Climate within LGBTQ plus Resource Center Websites: A Critical Discourse Analysis}, volume={12}, ISSN={["1573-1758"]}, url={https://doi.org/10.1007/s10755-021-09590-6}, DOI={10.1007/s10755-021-09590-6}, journal={INNOVATIVE HIGHER EDUCATION}, author={Pryor, Jonathan T. and Nachman, Brett Ranon}, year={2021}, month={Dec} } @inproceedings{pryor_nachman_2021, title={Enhancing digital campus climate: A rubric for student affairs practitioners}, author={Pryor, J.T. and Nachman, B.R.}, year={2021}, month={Mar} } @inproceedings{nachman_2021, title={Reconceptualizing the Conceptual Framework of Community College Student Success to account for disabled CTE students}, author={Nachman, B.R.}, year={2021}, month={Nov} } @misc{nachman_2021, title={Reimagining campus climate for the autism community}, author={Nachman, B.R.}, year={2021}, month={Apr} } @article{wickersham_nachman_2021, title={“I Never Learned More in My Life in Such a Short Period of Time”: Math Contextualization as Momentum toward Community College Student Success}, url={https://doi.org/10.1080/10668926.2021.1999341}, DOI={10.1080/10668926.2021.1999341}, abstractNote={ABSTRACT Math courses serve as cornerstones to most, if not all, community college programs.

This study explores community college students’ learning experiences in contextualized math classes, and how those experiences shape momentum toward success. We used a narrative inquiry approach, drawing upon the stories of six students enrolled in two contextualized math courses at a two-year college in a Midwestern state. Interviews, field notes, and survey data helped build and deepen the students’ narratives. We presented each student’s narrative individually, detailing their experiences in the contextualized math classes. We also discussed the thematic analysis results, which revealed six themes. The first three themes spoke to clear expectations and learning path in math, digging into and building upon math content and knowledge, and individual and group work dynamics. The latter three themes centered on discovering and recognizing utility of math, building and translating a foundation in math, and situating math within broader education and goals. This study offers empirical evidence on the potential of contextualization to enhance community college students’ learning experiences and success in math, particularly across college-level math courses and various program areas.}, journal={Community College Journal of Research and Practice}, author={Wickersham, K. and Nachman, B.R.}, year={2021} } @article{"i feel like they are all interconnected": understanding the identity management narratives of autistic lgbtq college students_2020, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1353/csj.2020.0000}, DOI={10.1353/csj.2020.0000}, abstractNote={Abstract:Research on both autistic and LGBTQ college students has uncovered themes of marginalization, selective disclosure, and efforts to build community and resist oppression.

Cox, Brett Ranon Nachman, Kerry Thompson, Steven Dawson, Jeffrey A. Edelstein, and Chase Breeden A large and growing population of students with autism is increasingly pursuing higher education. Yet, the field has a remarkably small literature base from which to glean actionable insights that might enhance postsecondary success for this population. Our examination of 13,000 items published in sixteen journals over a sixteen-year period revealed only 21 articles on the topic; none were published in mainstream higher education journals. Our explication of this literature maps the contours of the emerging body of literature on college students with autism, uncovers problematic patterns within that literature, identifies important questions that remain unanswered, and provides explicit guidance for future research on the topic. [End Page 935] As many as one in every 40 children is diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD; Kogan et al., 2018), and effective childhood interventions continue to increase the likelihood that these students will graduate high school and pursue higher education with reasonable expectations for success (Hart, Grigal, & Weir, 2010; VanBergeijk, Klin, & Volkmar, 2008). However, nationally representative statistics indicate that fewer than 39% of autistic college students1 earn any postsecondary credential (i.e., certificate, Associate's degrees, or Bachelor's degrees) within six years of completing high school (Newman et al., 2011). Yet, it appears that autistic college students have received remarkably little attention from scholars in higher education. The term "autism" did not appear in any of the field's traditional "top-tier" journals (i.e., Journal of College Student Development, Journal of Higher Education, Research in Higher Education, Review of Higher Education; Bray & Major, 2011; Creamer, 1994) until February 2017 (Cox et al., 2017). Moreover, in 2014, Gelbar, Smith, and Reichow found that the current understanding of college students with autism was based on empirical evidence from just 20 articles and only 68 students. More recently, Anderson, Stephenson, and Carter (2017) examined 29 articles reporting on 23 studies, whereas Kuder and Accardo (2018) could find only eight relevant studies. Moreover, several of the studies addressing the needs of autistic college students (e.g., Newman et al., 2011; Shattuck et al., 2012; Wei, Wagner, Hudson, Yu, & Javitz, 2016) draw from a single national dataset (National Longitudinal Transition Study—2; NLTS2) that has not been updated since 2009, while many of the others (e.g., Gobbo & Shmulsky, 2014; Morrison, Sansosti, & Hadley, 2009) base their conclusions on information collected from parents, instructors, and administrators—not the students themselves. Thus, it appears colleges and universities do not yet have an adequate scholarly foundation upon which they can develop effective initiatives to facilitate the success of autistic students. Likewise, the current literature base offers little guidance for researchers who wish to make substantive new contributions to that body of literature. The current paper begins to address these problems by identifying, cataloguing, reviewing, and critiquing articles about autistic college students to address three research questions: [End Page 936] 1. What topics, data, and methods have scholars used to shape early development of the emerging body of literature about autistic college students? 2. What limitations, biases, and gaps in the current literature may be addressed by future research on the topic? 3. What actions can researchers take in the future to make the literature base more robust, inclusive, and comprehensive? To answer these questions, we used an explicit framework to examine more than 13,000 articles published in any of 16 journals between 2000 and 2015. This process allowed us to map the contours of the emerging body of literature on college students with autism, uncover problematic patterns within that literature, identify important questions that remain unanswered, and provide explicit guidance for future research on the topic. Guiding Framework The Framework for the Development of Actionable Insights (Cox & Beebe, 2016) guides our review of the literature. The framework was derived jointly by a group of higher education scholars and practitioners (Cox & Beebe, 2016) looking to support previously underserved student populations (i.e., atheists, formerly incarcerated students) with programs and policies grounded in the best available research evidence.

The digital environment is particularly important because many autistic individuals prefer to engage in written communication. We employed a critical content analysis to understand the digital campus climate at public two-year colleges (n = 94) by analyzing website content that colleges use to describe autism. Findings show that the digital campus climate was unwelcoming for the vast majority of prospective and current students with autism. Autism was omitted from 29.8% of institutional websites. Colleges located in the eastern or western areas of the United States had lower rates of omission. When references to autism were present, website content used medical and legal language to depict autistic students as deficient. Institutional websites othered students by objectifying autism and using volunteer or charity work to frame autism as outside of normalcy. Text written by autistic people (students, alumni, staff, or organizations) was absent from all but one institutions’ website.

url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-85014056440&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, DOI={10.3389/fpsyg.2017.00146}, abstractNote={In this study, we explored the relationship between the intent to transfer upward and a set of motivational, contextual, and socio-demographic background factors among 696 female students beginning in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) programs or courses at two-year colleges in a Midwestern state. Drawing upon survey data and administrative records, our multinomial logistic regression analysis revealed that students' math and science self-efficacy beliefs, as well as transfer-oriented interaction, were significant and positive predictors for their intent to transfer into STEM fields as opposed to having no intent to transfer. In addition, the association between transfer intent and these key motivational and contextual factors was moderated by students' racial/ethnic backgrounds, marital status, and childcare obligations. For example, despite the positive relationship between transfer-oriented interaction and the intention to transfer into STEM fields, Black women were less likely to have intent to transfer into STEM fields than White students until Black students reported a moderate level of transfer-oriented interaction. Conversely, Hispanic students were more likely to report intent to transfer into STEM fields than their White peers, even when Hispanic students reported a relatively low level of engagement in transfer-oriented interaction. These and other reported findings bear important and nuanced implications as policymakers, educators, and researchers continue to discover ways to better support women's educational pathways and success in STEM fields at and through two-year colleges.}, number={FEB}, journal={Frontiers in Psychology}, author={Wang, X. and Chan, H.-Y. and Soffa, S.J. and Nachman, B.R.}, year={2017} } @inproceedings{cox_nachman_thompson_dawson_edelstein_breeden_2017, title={Actionable insights regarding college students with autism: A systematic literature review}, author={Cox, B.E. and Nachman, B.R. and Thompson, K. and Dawson, S. and Edelstein, J. and Breeden, C.}, year={2017}, month={Nov} } @inbook{nachman_2017, place={Lanham, MD}, title={Bridging the academic gap}, ISBN={9781475831467 9781475831474 9781475831481}, booktitle={Structural Challenges and the Future of Honors Education (Honors Education in Transition}, publisher={Rowman & Littlefield}, author={Nachman, B.}, editor={Glover, Robert W. and O’Flaherty, Katherine M.Editors}, year={2017} } @inproceedings{nachman_2017, title={Examining community colleges’ academic, professional and social gateways for Autism Spectrum students}, author={Nachman, B.R.}, year={2017}, month={Apr} } @inproceedings{wang_ning_wagner_nachman_2017, title={How do 2-year college students view themselves as STEM learner?}, author={Wang, X. and Ning, S. and Wagner, B. and Nachman, B.}, year={2017}, month={Apr} } @misc{nachman_2017, title={How do 2-year college websites depict autism?}, author={Nachman, B.R.}, year={2017}, month={Nov} } @inproceedings{nachman_bedolla lor_pasque_castillo-montoya_zamani-gallaher_2017, title={Me, myself and I-dentity: Reconciling critiques of insider research}, author={Nachman, B.R. and Bedolla Lor, Na and Pasque, Penny and Castillo-Montoya, Milagros and Zamani-Gallaher, Eboni}, year={2017}, month={Nov} } @inproceedings{nachman_2017, title={Navigating higher education without a roadmap: How to make college satisfying and successful}, author={Nachman, B.R.}, year={2017}, month={Oct} } @inproceedings{nachman_brown_2017, title={Verification limitation, and omission: Constructing autism on college and university websites}, author={Nachman, B.R. and Brown, K.R.}, year={2017}, month={Nov} } @inproceedings{wang_soffa_chan_nachman_2016, title={A nuanced look at women in STEM fields at community colleges: How do women’s multiple identities shape their transfer intent?}, author={Wang, X. and Soffa, S.J. and Chan, H.-Y. and Nachman, B.}, year={2016}, month={Apr} } @inproceedings{nachman_2016, title={If Einstein attended community college: Challenges and opportunities for Autism Spectrum students at two-year colleges}, author={Nachman, B.R.}, year={2016}, month={Jul} } @inproceedings{nachman_2016, title={Reflecting on the future: Disney’s Epcot as a confluence of technological and cultural dualism}, author={Nachman, B.}, year={2016}, month={Oct} } @article{nachman_holowach_2014, title={Q&A: Students: An introduction}, volume={94}, number={3}, journal={Phi Kappa Phi Forum}, author={Nachman, B. and Holowach, M.}, year={2014}, month={Aug}, pages={16–17} }
