Assembling the Vitally Ambivalent Archive: Collaborative Journaling as Inquiry
This article takes up collaborative writing as both subject and object, assembling a vitally ambivalent archive through written and visual art journaling. Arguing for this mode of thinking to trouble ideas of authorship, the authors intra-rupt subjective entanglements vis-a-vis correspondence with myriad co-constituting elements assembling and disassembling thoughts and things. Engaging with material feminist and other critical cultural perspecti…
Deploying the Line to Study Young Adults’ Material-Discursive Identity Work and Its Slippery-Sticky Attachments to Developmentalism: A Diffractive Analysis
This article shares what surfaced during diffractive analysis of data from a participatory arts-engaged research project called Life Lines. Drawing on material feminism, studio-inquiry practices were designed to assist young adults in creatively speculating alongside researchers over varied conceptualizations of identity, including dominant explanations centering on cognitive development and alternative framings emphasizing materiality’s role in …
Creative space for navigating complex times: Using art-based inquiry to respond to uncertainty during Covid-19
This article shares the outcomes of a participatory art-based inquiry conducted during stay-at-home orders due to COVID-19 and the impact on the mental health and well-being of college-age students (age 18–21) in the United States. Participants engaged in artmaking sessions alongside researchers to respond to prompts geared to help them process their experiences. Findings that emerged from the project suggest that art-based practices in a communi…
Becoming Backpack: Towards a Counter-Inscription of Young Adult Collegian Identity Work
This article invites readers to encounter the author’s early attempts at engaging creatively with data produced during a research project called Life Lines: The Art of Being Alive to Young Adulthood. Launched in January 2019, the Life Lines project was conceived as a critical participatory arts-engaged research endeavor aimed at opening up conventional theoretical wisdom about the nature of young adult college student identity formation. In addit…
Becoming artist, becoming educated, becoming undone: Toward a nomadic perspective of college student identity development
In this article, I place my ethnographic project among undergraduate university art students and their professor in dialog with Rosi Braidotti’s figuration of the nomadic subject and her reflections on the importance of creating theoretical alternatives for mapping the embedded and embodied social positions that we inhabit. As educational interlocutors, college students must negotiate expectations and categorizations about age-appropriate relatio…
Invoking Mnemosyne: Art, Memory, and the Uncertain Emergence of a Feminist Embodied Methodology
What would it mean to map out the possibilities of a social scientific inquiry that makes the relational, creative, and embodied dimensions of storied knowledge and its production prominent? How might researchers engage memory, affect, and the arts in order to intentionally and meaningfully blend the cognitive acts of discursively conveying and receiving story with the somatic states of both the researcher and participants? Across this volume, re…
On a Personal Note: Practical Pedagogical Activities to Foster the Development of “Reflective Practitioners”
The necessities and benefits of reflexivity are now well laid out in the broader social science literature, and the American Evaluation Association's (2004) Guiding Principles for Evaluators identify reflective practices that evaluators are expected to carry out. This article uses the context of the university classroom and a writing sample to demonstrate how disciplined self-reflection can help students examine personal perspectives that surface…
Degrees of Separation: An Ourstory About Working-Class and Poverty-Class Academic Identity
This autoethnographic text invites readers into identity work at the interstices of growing up working class and becoming an academic. Influenced by mystory scholarship, the author has crafted a performance-oriented "ourstory" that blends academic, personal, biographical, and popular culture discourses. Following an introduction, the author presents four scenes chronicling her own and one research participant's moments from precollege through pre…
Multiple Dimensions of Reform: The Impact of State Policies on Special Education and Supports for All Students
We conducted a study using mixed methods to explore implementation of reform legislation and related outcomes for students with disabilities and those placed at risk of school failure. Designed to promote equal educational opportunities, the legislation included provisions for (a) redistributing state funding so that schools would have more equal access to resources and (b) requiring all schools to adopt and use state standards and standards-base…
