Learning to work in white spaces: An autoethnographic and linguistic analysis of racial and gender discrimination in a Midwestern American organization

Pairing Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) of a prominent talk radio program with workplace autoethnography, this dissertation explores life and language in a construction-sector business staffed almost entirely by White men. The multi-method approach facilitates intersectional analysis of racist, sexist, and homophobic talk while also attending to issues of class.
