In this paper, I discuss the gendered-racialised interactional and contextual dynamics hindering the socialisation of ethnic minoritised women (EMW) within Belgian higher education. Based on in-depth interviews, I develop the concept of ‘socialisation climates’ to explain the key aspects that determine EMW's socialisation process. Three socialisation climates are identified: integration, negotiation and interrogation. Findings show that insiders play a crucial role in hindering or facilitating EMW's socialisation. Developmental relationships are gendered-racialised relations in which EMW's identity impacts supervisor and peer support. The departmental context in terms of hierarchy, an Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion culture, and team composition is relevant to their socialisation process. EMW are able to socialise rapidly only in a context that is (radically) inclusive which is still rare in academia. This paper informs higher education institutions to be aware of the gendered-racialised climate and interactions that influence EMW's socialisation and increase the risk of pushing them out.

融合、谈判、审讯：比利时高等教育中博士生社会化的性别种族障碍

在本文中，我讨论了阻碍比利时高等教育中少数民族女性（EMW）社会化的性别种族化互动和背景动态。基于深入访谈，我提出了“社会化氛围”的概念，以解释决定 EMW 社会化过程的关键方面。确定了三种社会化氛围：融合、谈判和审讯。调查结果表明，内部人士在阻碍或促进 EMW 的社会化方面发挥着至关重要的作用。发展关系是性别种族化的关系，其中 EMW 的身份会影响主管和同伴的支持。层级结构、平等、多样性和包容性文化以及团队组成方面的部门环境与其社会化过程相关。 EMW 只有在（彻底）包容性的环境中才能快速社交，这在学术界仍然很少见。本文告知高等教育机构要意识到影响 EMW 社会化并增加将他们驱逐出去的风险的性别种族化氛围和互动。
