dc.description.abstract | This qualitative study explores sailors’ perceptions and reactions to sending and receiving communication pertaining to nationally controversial sociopolitical incidents (e.g., race, domestic politics, and the COVID-19 pandemic) that occurred from 2020–2021. The study develops a database of vignettes that leaders within the Navy can use to prepare sailors to communicate about controversial sociopolitical issues and promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the Navy. This thesis presents a qualitative analysis of data gathered from open-ended interviews designed to solicit first-hand experiences of naval officer and enlisted personnel. The analysis explores the initial conjecture, derived from existing literature: To promote productive discussions regarding controversial sociopolitical incidents, Navy leaders should focus on fostering an environment marked by trust, respect, empathy, dignity, collective sensemaking, support, and the ability to listen. The findings are consistent with this conjecture. The study concludes with a discussion and recommendations. | en_US |
