Exploring the Frontier of Chinese Ethnic Minority Education
Xing Teng has spearheaded ethnic minority education and educational anthropology in China. As a member of the Han majority and an ally to ethnic minority groups, he has endeavored to open space for ethnic minority education in China. I sat down with Professor Teng in the summer of 2018. After transcribing the original interview into Chinese and in consultation with Professor Teng, four segments from the interview are translated for this Special I…

Unmasking China's Great Leap Forward and Great Famine (1958-1962) Through Shunkouliu (顺口溜)
Satiric Shunkouliu (顺口溜), an oral folklore tradition among Chinese peasants known as "slippery jingles" or "doggerels," express discontent and often contain disguised critiques of official propaganda. In this article, I call upon Shunkouliu to expose the reality behind the dogma during China's Great Leap Forward and Great Famine (1958-1962). This departs from existing scholarship that has focused on written texts and interviews as primary data. A…
Between Bosses and Workers
This chapter analyzes the challenges and opportunities encountered when the fieldwork conducted in Taiwan&s;s satellite factories in the summer of 1989. Methodologically, the chapter centers on the issues of negotiating entry, maintaining access, and resolving conflicts and tensions. The author&s;s discussion derives from, and seeks to contribute to, the recent feminist debate appraising the power relations between researchers and informants. The…
Learning Critical Qualitative Research
This Special Issue focuses on the learning of qualitative research as a legitimate and productive site of inquiry with the potential to illuminate and advance pedagogical practices. Its three objectives were (1) empowering and giving voice to new generations of qualitative research practitioners, (2) facilitating dialogue across the divide between the teaching and learning of critical qualitative research, and (3) mapping out a space of knowledge…
The Politics of Rebuilding Chinese Sociology in 1980s
Chinese sociology was denounced and abolished as "bourgeois science" for more than a quarter of a century (1952-1979). This article examines the politics of rebuilding Chinese sociology. Examining lectures, reports, and essays associated with the first three officially approved research projects (1981-1986), I clarify why the quantitative paradigm was embraced by sociologists at the expense of qualitative inquiry. With the introduction of survey …
Lives & Legacies
Over the last decade, academic institutions around the globe have archived qualitative data. While scholars have deliberately used them for research purposes, insufficient attention has been directed to their utility for the teaching of qualitative research (QR). In this article, I will discuss how I have used 39 interview transcripts of new immigrants to Canada to develop Lives & Legacies, an online digital courseware available free of charge th…
Teaching Qualitative Research as Transgressive Practices
In qualitative research (QR), teaching is essential to the production and reproduction of knowledge both substantively and institutionally. Despite this, teaching QR has not received much scholarly attention. This Special Issue will address this problem by conceptualizing the teaching of QR as involving a set of transgressive practices that sustain and realize critical perspectives and practices in QR. It emphasizes that the teaching of QR is con…
Doing (critical) qualitative research in China in a global era
Over the last decades, qualitative researchers from the global south have questioned the dominance of the Anglo-American core and the current divide between the core and periphery. Nevertheless, it is unclear how to disrupt the divide. This article advances this endeavour by demonstrating the interplay between Anglo-American domination and a local hegemonic discourse that has perpetuated the core-periphery divide and hindered the development of c…

Teaching Reflexivity in Qualitative Interviewing
Reflexivity has gained paramount status in qualitative inquiry. It is central to debates on subjectivity, objectivity, and, ultimately, the scientific foundation of social science knowledge and research. Although much work on doing reflexivity by researchers and practitioners has been published, scholars have only recently begun to explore how one goes about teaching reflexivity in qualitative research. This paper contributes to the endeavour by …

Transformation, subversion, and feminist activism
Since the 1980s, a number of Chinese scholars and activists have worked together creatively to develop a women's studies field that (1) focuses on unresolved issues embedded in the approach of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to gender equality, and (2) responds to the negative consequences of China's economic reforms on women. The fruits of the so-called women's studies movement include a large selection of new publications, many stimulating co…
