A Good Name
People’s names and the places, animals, and items named by people are deeply personal and reflective of their culture and identity, yet in qualitative research, the standard is to use pseudonyms. This practice is thought to protect research participants, but when are “real” names most respectful and appropriate? How might researchers include research participants in these considerations? The purpose of this methodological article is to increase t…
Cultural Humility, Human Research Ethics Review, and Informed Consent
The United States, through research ethics review, is complicit in ethically recolonizing countries into U.S. dominant understandings. This review and consent are seen as an all-encompassing ethical understanding and a discrete, one-time experience. Drawing on personal experiences and in-depth interviews with international and domestic subculture research participants and researchers, the authors argue that the United States ethics review must mo…
“Stop Thinking Like a Social Scientist and Start Thinking like an Artist”
The coauthors first discuss their individual perspectives on arts-based qualitative research, their development as artists, and their later collaboration on an ethnodramatic screenplay as an artistic project. The coauthors then describe their next collaboration: the adaptation of a college-aged, gay, ex-Mormon's life story from interview transcripts into three artistic literary renderings: the prosaic, poetic, and dramatic. The prosaic narrative …
Un[bracketed]
Purpose Due to the limitations to the purpose and practice of both phenomenological and duoethnographic research methodologies, the purpose of this paper is to propose phenomenological polyethnography as a hybrid qualitative methodology, which would guide skilled researchers in conducting phenomenological exploration of an emergent experience as insiders. Design/methodology/approach This study is an applied a hybridization approach to phenomenolo…
The Cowboy Code
Issues of bullying, suicide, self-expression, self-acceptance, self-harm, among others, within the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, ally, and others (GLBTQQA+) culture are explored. We show the suffering, the silenced voices, and the pain endured by GLBTQQA+ college students in rural Wyoming. We act as story retellers by creatively and strategically editing interview transcripts to transform the narratives into a screenpla…
Coming Out (as a Poststructuralist)
The authors, within the context of the first author Eric's experiences, explore the politics of a hostile, academically violent pretenure environment as a poststructuralist scholar within a framework of cultural humility. Within this essay, we illuminate issues Eric experienced only after the idea of early tenure was presented by his dean. Most faculty were supportive of Eric and his research; a few were not. We examine issues of prejudice in sch…
Ish
Discussion has occurred around what constitutes quality research poetry, with some direction on how a researcher, who is a novice poet, might go about writing good enough research poetry. In an effort to increase the existing conversation, the authors review research poetry literature and ideas from art poets on how to read, write, and revise poetry. The authors interrupt the prose text throughout with poetic interludes and quotes from poets. The…
IRB as Poetry
In this series of poems, the authors reflexively explore experiences with the institutional review board (IRB) through the use of various poetic forms, including autoethnographic, literature review, artifact, blackout, typewriter, concrete, cutout, photographic, and collage. Areas of the authors' individual research lines are with children, adolescents, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, and ally (LGBTQQA+) participants,…
Stifled [Queer] Voices
Issues of bullying, suicide, self-expression, self-acceptance, self-harm, among others, within the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, ally, and others (GLBTQQA+) culture are explored through ethnodrama. I show the suffering, the silenced voices, and the pain endured by GLBTQQA+ college students in rural Wyoming. I act as a story- reteller, where I creatively and strategically edit the interview transcripts to maintain the na…
Ethical Conundrums in Rural South Africa
We engage in story- retelling by recounting, reconstructing, and reflecting on our experiences as evaluators in a cross-cultural setting, a South African village. A principal focus on the serendipitous ethical and methodological issues that arose is highlighted. As most ethical dilemmas go, solutions are not clear. Therefore, the authors spend time critically considering the soundness of the decisions that were made, from the lack of diversity of…
Laramie 2.0
Through autoethnographic poetry, I take the reader on a journey through my experience of moving to Laramie, Wyoming, to become faculty at the University of Wyoming. As a gay male who is still haunted by the 1998 brutal murder of Matthew Shepard in Laramie, I engage in storytelling: relaying my personal experiences of living in modern-day Laramie, showing the reader my fears, obstacles, and revelations through prose
Hands on My Hips
These interpretive autoethnographic tales are about my life experiences, growing up in rural Ohio as a queer male. I relive several of the innumerable unfortunate encounters with bullies who have haunted me over the years, partly as a therapeutic means to cope with the lasting effects of those torturous years and partly to potentially reach and touch the lives of others similarly affected. I use performative texts as a powerful means of portrayin…
Broom Closet or Fish Bowl? An Ethnographic Exploration of a University Queer Center and Oneself
The authors detail an educational ethnography of a university queer cultural center's role on campus and in the surrounding community. The data include participant observation, in-depth interviews, and artifacts. The authors review lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, ally, and questioning (LGBTAQ) issues in higher education, heterosexual attitudes, and queer theory. The findings of barriers to the Center's mission plus the suicide of a Center st…
I Just Like Guys (Girls)
As part of an educational ethnography of a queer cultural center at a western United States university, I explored the center's cultural importance on the college campus and in its surrounding community. During the course of this study, I used semistructured interviews to inquire about the coming out experiences of four of my participants. Research poetry was used to capture the emotional and poignant words of my gay and lesbian participants
Now, He's Not Alive
Through a mini-educational ethnography of a queer cultural center at a midsized, Western U.S. university, I explored the center's cultural importance on the college campus and in its surrounding community. During the course of this study, one of my gay male participants, an undergraduate student leader of the center, committed suicide. While interviewing several participants (three gay males and one lesbian), I inquired into their feelings about …
