| Abstract: | We compare three studies to analyze analyzed how those in the position of power, e.g., instructors, can play important roles in establishing and maintaining safe, equitable, and inclusive environments for students. The first study is Johnson's 2020 study using Domains of Power to investigate physics culture and identity of students and faculty at a small predominantly White liberal arts college. This study described a physics department that other departments should try to emulate. The second study is Santana and Singh's 2023 study, which utilized Standpoint Theory to understand the experiences of undergraduate women at a large predominantly White research institution and revealed a masculine physics culture in which women felt marginalized. The third study is Santana and Singh's 2024 study which combined Standpoint Theory, Domains of Power, and the HELPIEE frameworks to investigate undergraduate women's experiences at a small predominantly White private liberal arts college. |
