Aspirational Trends in Social Science Methodology

With these questions in mind, this paper examines six underlying trends in methodological discourse and practice that might portend a gradual ma…
Constructive Imaginary
This special issue of the Journal marks a moment in a journey by a group of collaborators exploring the implications of an emerging concept with profound relevance to twenty-first century struggles for social justice. To understand the nature and purpose of this journey, it will help to know a little about the process that led us here.

After documenting the pervasiveness of these discursive constructs, the paper discu…
