Qualitative Ethics and the AI War Machine
Using the dispute between the U.S. Department of Defense and Anthropic, alongside backlash against OpenAI, I trace the militarized lineages of frontier AI labs and their relevance for qualitative ethics. Public discourse cast these disputes as moral contests between responsible and irresponsible firms, inviting qualitative researchers to express ethics through vendor choice. I argue that this framing functions as machinewashing, personalizing acc…
Culturally disruptive qualitative research
Culturally responsive research (CRR) posits that culture is always present and should thus be a fundamental organizing principle in all facets of inquiry. However, within whitestream research cultures this work can be assimilated into the white, colonial logics it seeks to resist. In this paper, I offer a loving critique and critical reimagining of CRR by tracing its genealogy, situating contemporary research within whiteness and coloniality, and…
Profaning as Artful Inquiry
This paper unsettles the easy optimism and moral aesthetics that can domesticate arts-based research into consumable, uplifting products. Drawing on profane methodologies and artists who have jolted us, we embrace irreverence, obscenity, and the “fuck it” aesthetic—not as nihilism, but as a method to question what is obscured when inquiry is aestheticized as moral good, empowerment, or evocative transformation. We argue that arts-based research r…
“You Can Trust Me . . . Honest”
Given the intricate relationship between knowledge and subjectivity, reflexivity has become crucial to demonstrating trustworthiness in qualitative inquiry. This reflexive process is then subsequently communicated to readers through various statements of subjectivity. In this paper, we critically analyze the evolution and role of these statements in qualitative research, tracing their evolution from a radical attempt to dismantle post/positivist …
The Sound of Science
This paper contributes to ongoing conversations about the ethical and practical integration of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) in qualitative health research by focusing on an often-overlooked aspect of research-dissemination. Given GAI's capacity to translate complex ideas into accessible summaries, simplify jargon, adapt to different comprehension levels, and enhance understanding through analogies, we explore its potential to support …
Culturally Responsive Methodologies
The articles in this special issue emphasize the evolution and impact of culturally responsive research in health settings. They illustrate the methodological shift from viewing culture through a Western-centric lens to instead critically analyzing dominant cultural 'norms,' intersectional identities, and the power of narratives. These contributions advocate for integrating culturally informed methods to respect all peoples' dignity and identitie…
Problematizing platform use in qualitative inquiry
Qualitative inquirers are increasingly exploring the possibilities and promise of web-based research. From re-envisioning the meaning of face-to-face interaction through online collaboration platforms to harvesting organically occurring digital content, these data generation interactions occur on platforms designed for purposes other than inquiry. Researchers who work within these platformed field sites must be clear on the affordances of these i…
Critical Qualitative Inquiry
In this conceptual paper, we theorize possibilities for critical qualitative inquirers who work in the face of and in response to escalating authoritarian threats to democracy, academic freedom, and belonging. We explore seemingly failed methodological, pedagogical, and activist resistances that arose from our experiences as critical qualitative methodologists in states marked by oppressive conservative driven democratic backsliding. Drawing insp…
Decentering and Rezoning
Due to the dominance of ableist narratives, there is a distinct lack of diversity of participants and geographies in education research with students with disabilities. To address this lack, we developed podcasting as a method for DisCrit-informed qualitative research in the form of a pilot project for the first author's doctoral study on the experiences of acquired disability as intersected with policy, race, gender, sexuality, religion, and nat…
Hopefully you've landed the waka on the shore
The multifaceted context of Aotearoa / New Zealand offers insight into the negotiation of cultural discourses in mental health. There, bicultural practice has emerged as a theoretically rights-based delivery of culturally responsive and aligned therapies. Bicultural practices invite clinicians into spaces between Indigenous and Westernized knowing to negotiate and innovate methods of healing. In this article, we present findings from a qualitativ…
Will You be Our Qualitative Methodologist?' Reflections on Grant Work Responsibilities
Government funders increasingly encourage interdisciplinary mixed methods research projects that include qualitative methods. For qualitative methodologists, the opportunity to collaborate on interdisciplinary research teams may come at a cost when their expertise is marginalized relative to quantitative designs. Drawing on concepts from critical pragmatism and an ethics of care, we reflect on ethical tensions in our experiences as qualitative me…
Unsettling the family sciences
In this article, I advance settler colonial theory (SCT) as a critical framework for antiracist and anticolonial family scholarship. Rather than a historical event, SCT describes settlement as a persistent and violent structure. SCT uniquely connects racialization to Indigenous erasure, anti‐Blackness, anti‐immigrant exclusion, and the ascendancy of Whiteness through intersectional analyses of belonging and otherness. In my discussion, I position…
If You Don't Fight Like Hell, You're Not Going to Have a Country
Donald Trump turned the presidency into a live-action reality television series comprising a chaotic blend of televised and tweeted intrigue. The nation's collective anxiety coalesced in a nationalistic, authoritarian denouement on January 6, 2021. During Trump's speech at the Save American Rally, he returned to familiar themes, telling the story of a ravaged America and his role as its victimized hero. As Trump concluded his speech urging suppor…
“I am affected in all the ways … ”
Findings suggest Latinx families across residency statuses can be negatively affected by news of the adversities experienced by a subgroup. Service and healthcare providers, and educators must be prepared to support Latinx youth faced with fear, discrimination, and isolation arising from exposure to news on immigration actions.

A sociopolitical response to vicarious witnessing
Vicarious witnessing is an emergent focus for social workers who support highly traumatized communities. Research indicates that indirectly witnessing another person’s trauma narrative can lead to internalizing those narratives resulting in adverse emotional, relational, and somatic symptoms. In this Practice Corner, we reconceptualize testimonial therapy as a strategy to foster wellbeing among service providers who support clients with trauma. P…
Sowing the seeds
Objective: This article problematizes the use of resilience as a psychological and developmental indication of well-being. We base our argument on the possibility that resilience theories internalize responsibility for survival within the individual, and that survival is dependent on the ability to assimilate to injustice. Resistance, on the other hand, represents acts of intentional, active, and often collective survival which can expose and opp…
Belonging and Otherness
In this article, I problematize sexual violence as a gendered and raced tool of colonial dominance. Though the theoretical framework of settler colonialism, I demonstrate how colonialism in the United States influences current discourse and policy around sexual violence. First, I explore the ways that colonialism positions women as victims and chattel of men. Secondly, I consider why White women who are positioned thusly lean into the male domina…
ThemToo
Trans women experience sexual violence at alarming rates; however, due to societal cisnormativity, people often remain unaware of such rates. As digital feminist movements, such as #MeToo, gain momentum, this moment represents an opportune time to illuminate how trans exclusionary discourses may exist in feminist movements. Using transfeminist theory as an analytic tool, we discuss how the #MeToo movement may displace trans women’s bodies allowin…
White Supremacy and the Web of Family Science
Family science is at the forefront of understanding the multiple and interconnected risk and protective factors (e.g., poverty vs. wealth, racism and discrimination, privilege) that affect families and the contexts in which they live. In this article, we use the metaphor of spider and web to suggest that family science theorizing is missing an integral piece of the puzzle—the designer of the contexts that have become the field's object of study a…
“My mind kept creeping back… this relationship can’t last”
Therapists who identify as monogamous can hold implicit beliefs about the nature of relationships. Such biases can overshadow the therapeutic process and impede consensually non-monogamous clients from receiving meaningful services. This article provides a brief introduction to polyamorous relationships, as well as, concepts tied to the pervasive nature of compulsory monogamy in family therapy. Readers are then invited to engage in experiential e…
Qualitative inquiry of sibling relationships
People with disabilities share a history and culture of marginalization and oppression. In disability studies, disability has been re-defined as an inability or limitation in performance of the roles and tasks expected of individuals within society which excludes people from becoming full participants in social, cultural, and political affairs. Disability research has traditionally been ‘on’ rather than ‘with’ people with disabilities. This artic…
Decolonizing Research Methods for Family Science
North America has a strong legacy of colonization, and a decolonizing agenda has important implications for the field of family science. Decolonizing epistemologies and research methods have gained momentum in the biological and social sciences. These research methods challenge the status quo and the superiority of Western ideologies and focus on agendas meant to honor marginalized people and their local knowledge and experiences. Decolonizing id…
