Exposing What’s on the Inside
While conducting a parent-child autoethnography to understand my own white children’s conceptions of race and my attempts to enact an antiracist home curriculum, I worried about how the work would be received. I listened to my body and mind’s desire to stitch and created a series of fiber design pieces I titled, Exposing What’s on the Inside. Through the act of making, my initial metaphor evolved to become an exposure of under layers surrounded b…
Katy transforms storytime
The increasingly diverse population of young children in the U.S. requires innovative culturally and linguistically sustaining literacy practices in early childhood education. Through parent-child ethnography, we share two stories of a multilingual and multicultural mother and daughter who created and enacted new storytelling practices in the context of community storytime. We analyze the stories through the dual lenses of sociocultural theory an…

Tools My Mother Gave Me
Poetic inquiry is one approach available to researchers that allows for theory-informed and emotionally-engaged reflexivity. In this article, I share four poems about my mother's positionality as a white low-income cis-hetero woman raising my brother and myself in the 1980s. Informed by critical sociocultural theory, I use poetry to describe four cultural tools she passed down to me: the Betty Crocker Cake Mix, accurate paperwork, makeup, and par…
Hanging Out with Kids Who Accept Them for Who They Are
Youth are social actors who not only engage in but transform culture. Promoting plurality often means letting go of preconceived notions of power in youth social circles. Here, we utilize parent-child ethnography and the lens of queer theory to analyse four stories of youth identity exploration and answer the following research questions: 1) how do these youth, as social actors, challenge, recreate, or fit into dominant social structures, and 2) …
Analogy as racial and political literacy
Pedagogy to Deconstruct Anti-Blackness
As a contrast to race evasive discourse, I share three conversations about the racial slur known as the N-word. These conversations were documented as part of a parent child autoethnography in which I attempted to enact antiracist pedagogy as a white parent of white children. Grounded in the frameworks of Critical Race Parenting and antiracist pedagogy, I advocate for conversations that ground current topics in accurate history, prepare youth to …
Poetic Juxtaposition, a Method for Connecting Data, Theory, and Every Day Texts
In this article, I explore an experimental form of writing I term poetic juxtaposition. Drawing from Glesne’s poetic transcription and Prendergast’s use of found poetry as literature review, I define poetic juxtaposition as the creation of research poems that artistically combine qualitative data, excerpts from theoretical texts, and words from every day and popular culture texts. To illustrate the technique, I present three poetic juxtapositions…
Ballad of Black and White
Identifying your skin is too dark as a put-down
In my second year teaching at the elementary level, two biracial first graders told a Black child that she could not play because her skin was too dark. I found myself, a white female teacher, using the language of the bullying prevention programme to ignore the racialized nature of the incident and ultimately enact a hidden curriculum of white supremacy. In this article, I analyze the incident using the concept of hidden curriculum and a critica…
