Ally as an Emerging Critical Orientation: Performing Praxis-Oriented Ally Subjectivity
This essay begins with the assumption that "allies" can be and do more than that which is normatively pre-determined by institutionalized definitions of "allies." As a result, this essay implicates ally subjectivity in relational terms. Specifically, we turn to developments in queer relationality to reconceptualize of "ally" beyond the narrow confines binaristic mimesis demands. We argue normative framings of "ally" as an exclusively cisheterosex…

Performative Remembering of Hiroshima’s and My Father’s Silence
In this essay, I explore critical peace education that labours through historical memory. Pulling together various professional and personal experiences, I offer my provisional understanding of critical peace education that labours through historical memory. Such critical peace education understands history as narrative; hence, it requires creativity to engage historical memory. It further understands that creativity possesses an ability to criti…
Toward De/Postcolonial Autoethnography: Critical Relationality With the Academic Second Persona
Doing autoethnography simultaneously empowers and colonizes me, my lived experiences, my sense-making, my writing, and my sense of being. I find my heart feeling energized and displaced. In this essay, I engage this feeling critically with hope to further theorize autoethnography as a de/postcolonial research practice for me. With this goal in mind, I discuss the academic second persona and its potential colonial implications on the 'auto,' the '…

Praxis-oriented whiteness research
This review essay outlines the current trends of contemporary whiteness research. The author pays attention to the last two decades and to key publications in the field of communication studies. This essay reviews and moves through the ontology, epistemology, and axiology of the contemporary whiteness research, in other words, the ‘what,’ ‘how,' and ‘why' of whiteness theorizing. Whiteness research ontologically conceptualizes whiteness as a soci…
Duoethnography as Relational Whiteness Pedagogy: Human Orientation Toward Critical Cultural Labor
Employing duoethnography (Norris & Sawyer, 2012), we examine how whiteness and whiteness studies function in our lived experiences. Understanding our lived experiences as life curriculum or “currere” (Norris & Sawyer, 2012, p. 12), we build an interwoven and polyvocal text that critically questions, meaningfully complicates, and carefully moves whiteness studies in highly experiential manners, finally arriving at relational whiteness pedagogy. In…
Self, Relationship, Positionality, and Politics: A Community Autoethnographic Inquiry Into Collaborative Writing
In 2009, Toyosaki, Pensoneau-Conway, Wendt, and Leathers developed a collaborative writing method called community autoethnography (CAE). Participants dialogically collaborate through writing in order to 'resituate identified social/cultural and sensitive issues' with the explicit goals of community-building and 'cultural and social intervention.' In this article, we use CAE to explore and interrogate the politics, ethics, and boundaries of our c…
Critical Complete-Member Ethnography: Theorizing Dialectics of Consensus and Conflict in Intracultural Communication
In this article, I reflect on the critical potential of complete-member ethnography (CME) through a retrospective and methodological exploration of a 2004 ethnographic project. I offer my provisionary theorization of critical CME (CCME) by reworking data and experimenting with CCME writing. CCME is an innovative intracultural praxis which engages in and facilitates social justice and cultural reform through its dialectical and highly personalized…
Automethodology: Tracing a Home for Praxis-Oriented Ethnography
The authors trace the development of ethnographic practices according to the methodological assumptions of ethnographers within different historical periods. As communication scholars, the authors find Calvin O. Schrag's conceptualization of the self to be informative and advantageous for navigating an ethnographic sense of 'self in the current status of the methodological contestation. Borrowing from Schrag' s work, which focuses on communicativ…
Community Autoethnography: Compiling the Personal and Resituating Whiteness
Examining whiteness (in) education is a journey of identity and materiality. In this article, the authors adopt an approach to research that highlights the role of performance in constituting identity. They believe that theorizing identity in this way is facilitated through autoethnographic storytelling, which allows one to theorize material performances of identity, along with the culture in which those performances are situated. In the followin…
Field‐text process analysis: The Brown v. Board of Education ruling
The 1954 Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court ruling remains a most prominent and influential event in one's perceptions of educational (in)equality. This research focuses on identity politics in education, paying special attention to whiteness as it manifests in a student‐centered university‐sponsored open‐forum public speaking event centering on the 50th anniversary of this landmark case. To this end, the authors develop and utilize the me…
Communication Sensei's Storytelling: Projecting Identity into Critical Pedagogy
Identity politics in culturally diverse U.S.-American higher education is so complex that it is difficult to completely account for all of its elements. As a communication sensei, I enter this arena taking an approach informed by critical pedagogy and employing performative and/or autoethnographic writing as a mode of critical interrogation. Via storytelling, I investigate my becoming and the role of a critical pedagogue as a sociotemporal actor …
