- W194662527 abstract "While many aspects of competitive speech and debate programs have been researched and discussed in academic journals, one vital component of forensics has been left untouched by scholarly inquiry: role of forensics squadroom. With shrinking budgets and expanding faculty bodies, important to be able to show administrators that space allocated for forensic squadroom more than a space to house trophies, but rather a space for students to socialize and identify with team. Using both qualitative and quantitative research methods, this article examines important rhetorical role squadroom plays as symbol of support for program, as well as pragmatic role squadroom plays in teambuilding and socialization. Politicians from John F. Kennedy to George McGovern, entertainers from Jim and John Belushi to Arsenio Hall, and television news broadcasters like Jane Pauley (Winebrenner, 1997) have identified their participation in forensics activities as one of most important experiences leading toward their success. Engleberg (1993) says that forensics is single most valuable educational experience you can offer a student (p. 399). Such endorsements clearly show that forensics has its ideological place in education, but also needs a physical place on campus. purpose of this investigation to explore value of forensics squadroom and role squadroom plays in a forensics program. Bullis (1993) explains that most socialization research deeply rooted in uncertainty reduction and information processing theories (p. 15), however communication research has yet to explore how space involved in negotiating uncertainty and information seeking. Space part of overall process, but space has never been divorced from this overall process and studied separately to determine its effect. While a plethora of research explores socialization, no research on importance of space in socialization process has been conducted. Several studies have explored socialization that takes place in unique spaces, such as performing arts school or of cruise ships (Cawyer & Friedrich, 1998; Gibson & Papa, 2000; Harter & Kirby, in press; OseroffVarnell, 1998; Souza, 1999), but emphasis on role physical space plays in socialization; these articles simply explore socialization in these places. research on space does specifically suggest that space a factor in socialization process, but merely a space for socialization to occur. However, we argue that squadroom more than mere Fall 2005----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------33 space for team to gather and that space actually a factor in socialization process. While role of space in socialization process has been neglected in socialization research, importance of space has been completely overlooked. Space, and having space, serves as a symbol of identification. Moran, Skeggs, Tyrer, and Corteen (2001) explain, The production of space depends on decisions made about what should be visible and what should not, who should occupy space and who should not (p. 409). occupation of space generally a power struggle over keeping certain parties out. However, hidden argument in this power struggle that space means something. Creating and maintaining a space, is a deliberate means of representing a place and who live in it (Mattingly, 2001, p. 448). In a forensics context, having a space for team more than just a practical matter of storage and practice issues. An institution setting aside space for forensics team symbolically saying that program important and worthy of resources. While an institution that does provide space for a forensics program inherently denying importance of program, institution saying that other uses of space are more important. A squadroom may seem like an area worthy of study to a person who has worked with forensics activities. That perception part of reason this study important. Thirty years ago, Taylor (1975) noted that was becoming more difficult to justify expenditures and commitments of a school to a forensics program. As an institution grows and adds to number of faculty, available office space becomes a precious commodity. A squadroom could easily be visualized as potential office space for faculty members who are forced to share office space. But squadroom critical to development and maintenance of a successful forensics program. From a functional perspective, activities that take place in a squadroom (coaching, practices, research, homework, communication, administrative functions and even socializing) are very important. However, most important issue may be role squadroom plays in team building, specifically in socialization of new members and fostering program identification. We need to understand what takes place in squadroom as well as what function squadroom serves in development of a team. This article explores role of squadroom in forensics programs by examining current socialization and identification research, and using research to guide how we approach and present research findings on importance of space. Finally, we suggest ways this research can begin to explore role space plays in forensics programs as well as ways to understand what space means to organizational culture. Socialization and Identification Organizational communication scholars, looking at small groups within organizations such as task forces, teams, or committees, have noted that 34 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------Fall 2005 members of effective groups identify with that group (Cheney, 1983). Members of a group need to only identify with group members, but identify with group norms, beliefs, and values. Group members are socialized into group to help with identification process. How a group goes about socializing and helping members identify with group part of organization's culture. Gibson and Papa (2000) define organizational culture as, the practices, values, metaphors, stories, vocabulary, ceremonials, rites, heroes, and legends that are held by a group of people (p. 70). An essential element of organizational culture socialization and assimilation of new members. During socialization, new members are introduced to, and become familiar with, organization's culture. Researchers have focused on identification process and found that occurs in both formal and informal settings during organizational socialization process (VanMaanen, 1973; Feldman, 1981; Duncan, 1985; Kelly, 1985; Miller & Jablin, 1991; and Saks, 1997). forensics squadroom provides an ideal opportunity for socialization of new members and identification with program and activity in an informal setting." @default.
