Love as relational ethics in feminist educational ethnography
Affecting Engagements in Justice-Oriented Teacher Preparation
This study examines the affective responses of pre-service teacher candidates and how intersections of race and whiteness, gender, and class influence teacher preparation in urban school contexts. Within a US neoliberal urban education reform context, we draw upon affect theory (Ahmed, 2014) and intersectionality theory (Collins, 2000; Crenshaw, 1991) as a theoretical lens that informs a psychosocial intersectional methodological approach (Scheur…
Feminist Collective Interpretation
Interpretation is a key aspect to any qualitative research process. Inherent in analysis, researchers must ask what informs interpretations and whose interpretations are accepted as reality. These questions call attention to power and its connection with interpretational practices, while some might argue that it would be impossible to render any interpretations that are data. In this article, we describe our own feminist, collective analytic inte…
Methodologies of possibility
The primary goal of this paper is to introduce ethical practices engaged by the Feminist Research Collective (FRC) so that we might push into the theoretical dialogue on feminist ethics. The authors offer a corrective to feminist communitarian ethics that advances its justice potential through research by both critiquing and developing feminist communitarianism toward research practices. The authors draw on the work of the FRC re-envision methodo…
Digital Migrating and Storyworlding with Women We Love
This contemporary feminist ethnography draws on in-depth ethnographically-anchored lifestory interviews with loved ones and uses digital media (such as ArcGIS) to expand the ethnographic collection around the globe. Members of the FRC conceived of the WomenWeLove Project as an opportunity for the lesser-told stories of six ordinary women from different places to take center stage. By digitizing the stories, researchers and participants are able t…
From silence to stillness
This paper explores undocumented adolescent Latina becomings that move beyond Western, white dominant cultural values and recognize egalitarian entanglements of difference. I begin by recognizing my positionality in this work that speaks to my own feminist theoretical entanglements of this project that draw upon new materialist and post-qualitative embodied, inspirited, affective becomings. In the second half of this paper, I resituate this proje…
Latina Adolescent Becomings
This research project focuses on embodied and engendered liminal experiences of Latina adolescents through ontologies of becoming as a space to generatively and critically expand notions of resistance and activism. Specifically, this article seeks to reconceptualize Latinas' identities and subjectivities outside current (and silenced) understandings of their border-crossing journeys and the subsequent trauma of living in the United States as undo…
An initial exploration of a community-based framework for educational equity with explicated exemplars
Educational equity dominates discussions of US schooling. However, what ‘educational equity’ means is much contested in the scholarly literature and in public discourses. We follow the lead of scholars of color who have problematized the definition of educational equity. They have shown that the dominant, taken-for-granted definitions of equity which disguises the accumulation of societal and educational exclusions of and prejudices toward histor…
