Methodological Considerations for Endarkened Narrative Inquiry
This article extends the previous conversation around endarkened narrative inquiry, a culturally situated approach informed by Black feminist thought, womanism, endarkened feminist epistemology, and narrative inquiry. In this article, we reclaim narrative in the context of a methodological process that centers Black women-centric ontoepistemologies, informed by theoretical perspectives and existing literature, to focus on Black women’s ways of st…
Introduction: The Im/Possibility of Finding Home in Academia: Personal Narratives of Transnationally Minoritized Scholars in Higher Education
In this special issue, authors trace their relationship with home in academia from transnational perspectives and explore the inherent challenges and possibilities of their locations within spaces where they are Othered, exocitized, minoritized, while carving out space for empowerment, survival, and doing their work
Invitation to Restorative Practices in Critical Qualitative Research
I am at a rural tea estate in Darjeeling, India. It is April 2021. Three new mutated variants of the coronavirus are in the air, creating devastation and death the likes of which I have never seen before. Whole families are dying within days of each other. Diasporic Indians who have flown back to India from the US, Canada, and other parts of the world to tend to sick parents and other family members are themselves becoming ill and dying. Relief g…
Rejecting Labels and Colonization: In Exile From Post-Qualitative Approaches
In this paper, I trace my pathways of de/colonial ontoepistemic orientations to qualitative research. I identify the work I do without the need for post-qualitative labels, noting that post-qualitative scholars purport to open up expansive spaces by moving away from such forms of labeling, structuring, belonging, and maintaining categories. I discuss how my academic trajectories, culminating in the current moment, have always already positioned m…
Becoming a Warrior Monk
“Yodhya-Acharya” is a term I invented as a little girl in India hearing stories about my ancestry from Thakuma,1 my paternal grandmother. “Yodhya” means warrior in various Indian languages. “Acharya,” which is part of my last name, has several meanings, including one who teaches by their conduct, guided by an internal ethical barometer, and a connection to a higher power. An unfaithful translation of Yodhya-Acharya is Warrior Monk.Listening to Th…
Endarkened narrative inquiry: A methodological framework constructed through improvisations
This paper traces the improvisational moves the authors had to make, as a Black woman graduate student and an Indian woman dissertation supervisor in a predominantly white space in academia, to cultivate a framework informed by Black feminist thought, womanism, endarkened feminist epistemology, and narrative inquiry in qualitative research. Conducting culturally situated inquiry in hostile spaces characterized by disproportionate power relations …
Autohistoria-teoría
Qualitative inquiry, in general, and autoethnography, specifically, is highly contested in educational research, a discipline within which I work. Long-established criticisms and misunderstandings about autoethnography are rampant in educational research. These include the lack of value in knowledge construction from the perspective of one person, indulgent naval gazing, and overall lack of empiricism. In my autoethnographies within educational r…
