Autoethnographies of Precarity
This article serves as the introduction to the special issue “Risky Business, Uncertain Futures, and ... the Work Continues.” The special issue emerged from the preconference of the Autoethnography Special Interest Group of the International Association of Qualitative Inquiry meeting in 2025. The article presents autoethnography as inherently risky and as a methodology that can sustain us through uncertain times and events that call us to reflect…
Introduction to Presence Tense
This introductory essay introduces the themes of the gathering at the 20th International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry that gave rise to this special issue, and frames the ten contributed articles with four intersecting themes related to autoethnographic inquiry: autoethnography as making space , embodied futurity , intergenerational responsibility, and resistance
Advancing Qualitative Inquiry Toward Methodological Inclusion
As a collective of critical, minoritized, feminist, queer, and decolonial scholars who hold multiple identities simultaneously, this manuscript advances an argument for methodological inclusion grounded in axio-onto-epistemological responsibility. Writing in a dangerous sociopolitical moment marked by intensified attacks on diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice, the authors refuse epistemic neutrality and instead approach qualitative inquiry …
Lessons on Keeping Spry
Initially presented at the 2023 International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry, this essay is a dedication to Tami Spry. Drawing on memory, personal encounters, and Spry's scholarship, I share two lessons sprouted from our co-presence to each other and commitment to auto/ethnography. Ultimately, this essay honors Spry for her work, spirit, and steward on being responsible to hearts and humanity
What Becomes Possible When “Y/Our Slip is Showin?”
What pains and possibilities reside behind and emerge from mask wearing? This performative essay uses the Black idiom, “your slip is showin’” to ruminate upon masks, masking, mobilizing spirit, and their symbiotic possibilities. In Black vernacular, the metaphor of a showin’ slip, is an error, an unintended reveal. An undergarment believed to conceal what lies beneath clothing, it offers a boundary, usually between stockings and a skirt or dress.…
Performative Intergenerational Dialogues of a Black Quartet
Assata’s (Groove[ing]) Daughter
This embodied lyrical autoethnography expands the look of freedom fighting. (Re)turning to a lasting mother–daughter lesson with new eyes and Assata Shakur’s insistence that liberation is a duty, it introduces “groove[ing]” as a form of freedom fighting. Organized around and through three corresponding images taken at Stone Quarry Art Park, it renders visible quotidian and impactful movements made by a Blackgxrlwomxn when (re)membering lessons fr…
Autoethnography That Moves the Soul
This essay uses autopoetic narrative and reflexivity to unpack the possibilities of autoethnographic research and writing rooted in the spirit of collaboration. We reflect on the experience of a workshop centering collaborative autoethnography. Specifically, our reflection attunes to the affective and viscerality generated during and after collective exploration of the stakes within the moment. Overall, the essay explores (re)membering contentiou…
And Who Will Revere the Black Girl
While the mainstream media continues to narrowly define justice and reduce the site of its presence or absence to murder scenes and court cases, justice is often foreclosed long before someone is murdered and we must #SayHerName. To expand the project of Black mattering beyond race and physical death, this essay animates how body policing through school dress code policy sanctions racial-sexual violence and provide girls with an ultimatum: either…
Surviving (Black) Together
How do Black feminism and womanism foster interconnectedness to one another and the sacred? What knowledges manifest through collective practices of wondering and wandering together? This essay provides reflections on our own engagements with creative-relational inquiry, manifested through our collective practice, Hill L. Waters, a scholar–artist collective rooted in love, Black queer resistance, and art as activism. Organized around and through …
Notes on Terrible Educations
Uncovering Black Girlhood(s)
Uncovering Black Girlhood(s):Black Girl Pleasures as Anti-respectability Methodology Porshé R. Garner (bio), Dominique C. Hill (bio), Jessica L. Robinson (bio), and Durell M. Callier (bio) Black girlhood is a site of pleasure, often overlooked, yet visible to those committed to allowing Black girls to just be. It is through our varied work and training in Saving Our Lives, Hear Our Truths (SOLHOT) that we, the authors, are reminded and understand…
Blackgirl, One Word
Blackgirls are an oft-disappeared population. Frequently, race or gender in popular and education discourse are foregrounded, leaving the Blackgirls fragmented. By contrast, one word, Blackgirl, rejects compartmentalizing Blackgirls' lives, stories, and bodies and serves as a symbolic transgression to see them/us as complex and whole. Interlaced with the symbolic is the material needed to value the Black female body. To provide redress for the di…
Black girl pedagogies
This essay highlights and extends the distinct and critical work of Black Girlhood Studies. With a particular focus on how it differentially engages Black girls and Black girlhood, it takes readers on a journey of rumination through my exploration of coming to understand reliability as taught to me by Black girls and Black girl celebratory spaces. Utilizing poetics and reflexive writing, this essay names and elucidates three facets of reliability…
Answering the Call
The organizers of the Autoethnography Special Interest Group for the 12th International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry brought together various autoethnographers to meditate on the theme of “manifesting” autoethnography. Taking up the challenge, the authors use reflexive narrative, poetry, music, and movement to offer one manifestation of autoethnography in the future. We, Hill L. Waters, write into the future, auto\ethnography as a Black, queer…
Years of Black Girlhood Celebration
People often ask, “What is Saving Our Lives, Hear Our Truths (SOLHOT)?” Sometimes the answer is it's a poem, sometimes it's a dance, sometimes it's an art installation in a local gallery, sometimes it's a song, sometimes it's a rhyme, sometimes it's a book, sometimes it's a lesson on theory and praxis, sometimes it's an article, sometimes it's an editorial, sometimes it's a performance, and sometimes it's a one-word answer. The answer however, no…
Blending scholar and activist identities
What happened when I invited students to see me? A Black queer professor's reflections on practicing embodied vulnerability in the classroom
What are the hesitations, dangers, and potentialities to inviting students to peruse my body? What possibilities arise from centering and leading with the body in the teaching/learning process? What risks and possibilities does this enactment pose to a Black lesbian educator? This auto/ethnography journeys through and reflects upon my experience enacting what I have coined “embodied vulnerability” as a pedagogical practice. Within this essay, I e…
Staging Black Girl Utopias
This performative text places in conversation the work of Saving Our Lives Hear Our Truths (SOLHOT), a practice of black girlhood celebration, with Robin M. Boylorn's Sweetwater. Both SOLHOT's archive of original poetry, movement, and music and Boylorn's Sweetwater document the power and potential of listening to and being transformed by black women and girls' truths. Building on the legacy of black feminist writing traditions, this piece celebra…
Saving Our Lives, Hear Our Truths

Why You Tryna Silence Her Body? – The Role of Education in Shaping the Black Female Body
Artistic expression is a vessel to define, refine, understand and become. Poetry and dance are tongues and instinctive expressions of my thoughts, feelings, and analyses. Thus, my embodiment, challenges and responses to social inequities often merge in these forms. Yet, artistic expression can be seen as trivial when used as method to illustrate social inequities. Drawing on the works of feminists of color, I offer poetry and dance as a queered p…
