The voices in the margin: Ohio State University Civil Service employees with advanced degrees. - 513 p.

Adviser: Patrick B. Mullen.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Ohio State University, 1996.

This qualitative dissertation focuses on an unstudied culture, that of female Civil Service employees with advanced degrees. Eight Ohio State University employees participated in several interviews over a three-year period. I then transcribed and analyzed the personal experience narratives recorded in the interviews. For organizational purposes, the narratives were broken into "themes" suggested by the women's words: these include perceptions of how status is manifested in the workplace, experiences of workplace conflict, views about material situations, reasons for staying in Civil Service positions, and future hopes.

520 $a This qualitative dissertation focuses on an unstudied culture, that of female Civil Service employees with advanced degrees. Eight Ohio State University employees participated in several interviews over a three-year period. I then transcribed and analyzed the personal experience narratives recorded in the interviews. For organizational purposes, the narratives were broken into "themes" suggested by the women's words: these include perceptions of how status is manifested in the workplace, experiences of workplace conflict, views about material situations, reasons for staying in Civil Service positions, and future hopes.
520 $a The work is a critical and reciprocal ethnography: ethnographies are in-depth studies of cultures. "Reciprocal" ethnographies are multi-vocal, the researcher incorporating the participants' assessments of the accuracy of transcriptions and interpretations. "Critical" ethnographies aim to uncover esoteric facets of cultures and to improve some aspect of their subjects' lives (thus, the participants' recommendations for changes in the Civil Service system appear in the final chapter). Interpretations of the narratives were conducted using folklore paradigms called "performance" and "cultural-political." I also applied discourse analysis frameworks, especially critical, process-oriented discourse analysis, to pinpoint meanings in the women's texts. The use of three theoretical approaches and the study's reciprocal aspect have resulted in what is known as "triangulated" research; while "objectivity" or the discovery of one "truth" have not been my objectives, multiple theories provide complementary support for my conclusions.
520 $a In narrating, people often project themselves as worthy, intelligent, even heroic, and the participants are no exception. But they also see themselves as marginal in the university--their education makes them atypical of Civil Service employees and they all consider themselves underemployed. Images of their marginality (which can be self-imposed and "positive" and/or institutionally imposed and "negative") emerge in all the narratives through a variety of rhetorical strategies. The participants' abundant "aesthetic expressions" are rooted in their political experiences and their views of their position in the university community. The women's storytelling is therefore frequently used for ideological purposes, to negotiate the boundaries of power between themselves and other staff, and supervisors and faculty who enforce the university's policies.
