Learning with lands and waters: Visiting as an indigenous feminist practice in climate education
We share visiting as an Indigenous feminist practice in an afterschool land education program for Black and Indigenous youth. Set in a large North American city, our visiting practices - listening, planting, creating poetry with a buried creek, and visiting a First Nation community on the frontlines of industrial colonialism, stewarded reciprocal relationships with more-than-human kin. These practices supported youth in critiquing anthropocentric…
Sometimes the Land Comes Back: Palestinian Organizers Reflect on Indigenous-Led Land Rematriation in the Bay Area
In this article, we share what we learned in a small subset of interviews with Palestinian organizers conducted as part of a larger study on an Indigenous-led community organization's work in the Bay Area to bring land back to Indigenous stewardship. The subset of interviews reveals the relationships that have grown between Palestinians living in diaspora and Indigenous communities in the U.S. working to rematriate stolen lands. More, they reveal…

On Being Committed to Indigenous Feminist Interventions’: Jodi Byrd and Eve Tuck in Conversation
Consent Practices in Desire-Based and Beauty-Affirming Social Science Research
In this article, we reflect on our practices of seeking consent as Indigenous and Black researchers engaged in social science research with Black, Indigenous and racialised youth and communities. We critique flimsy consent practices in social science that are extractive and superficial. This article has three discussions around consent in social science research: why we as Indigenous and Black people and researchers care about consent; harmful ap…
Rupture, not injury: Reframing repair for Black and Indigenous youth experiencing school pushout
In this article, the authors describe their multi-year youth participatory action research project, Making Sense of Movements (MSOM), with Black and Indigenous high school students in Toronto. Youth co-researchers in MSOM designed a study on school pushout that reveals the pervasiveness of racism in schools and the inadequacy of responses to racist incidents by school personnel. School staff and teachers often treat racist incidents as isolated e…
Visiting as an Indigenous feminist practice
In this essay, four Indigenous scholars from three different communities write about visiting as Indigenous feminist practice, a practice that is queer, anti-capitalist, and rooted in the cosmologies of our communities. Visiting is at the heart of how we research and how we make relation within our research. As an Indigenous feminist practice, visiting centers relationality and an ethic of care. Visiting as framework suggests a responsibility to …

Prefatory Essay: Unfinished Conversations With Jean Anyon
In this essay, Eve Tuck and Sefanit Habtom consider three contemporary conversations in the field of urban education: Urban education takes place on Indigenous land; diversity is not it, and social movements do more than we can know at a given time. Tuck imagines these may have been conversations that her mentor, Jean Anyon, would be writing, mentoring, or thinking about. Drawing from Anyon and Tuck’s conversations from nearly 20 years ago, the c…
La descolonización no es una metáfora
Nuestro objetivo en este artículo es recordarle a los lectores lo inquietante de la descolonización. La descolonización trae consigo la repatriación de la tierra y la vida Indígena; no es una metáfora de otras cosas que queremos hacer para mejorar nuestras sociedades. La fácil adopción del discurso descolonizador evidenciado por el creciente número de llamados a «descolonizar nuestras escuelas», o utilizar «métodos descolonizadores» o «descoloniz…

Settler Colonialism and Cultural Studies: Ongoing Settlement, Cultural Production, and Resistance
In this editorial, we consider what is at work in a turn toward analyzing settler colonialism, and what this turn makes available in cultural studies and discussions of cultural production. Recent theorizations of settler colonialism reveal how cultural productions remain complicit with ongoing settlement, both in everyday practices and intellectual projects like queer studies, feminist studies, and critical race studies. This special issue consi…

Relational Validity and the "Where" of Inquiry: Place and Land in Qualitative Research
This article reviews discussions of place in qualitative research that have appeared in Qualitative Inquiry over the past 20 years to foreground a conceptualization of critical place inquiry. The article describes relational validity and emphasizes possibilities for engaging place more meaningfully in qualitative inquiry
R-Words: Refusing Research
Place in Research: Theory, Methodology, and Methods
Bridging environmental and Indigenous studies and drawing on critical geography, spatial theory, new materialist theory, and decolonizing theory, this dynamic volume examines the sometimes overlooked significance of place in social science research. There are often important divergences and even competing logics at work in these areas of research, some which may indeed be incommensurable. This volume explores how researchers around the globe are …
Unbecoming Claims: Pedagogies of Refusal in Qualitative Research
This article discusses the role of refusal in the analysis and communication of qualitative data, that is, the role of refusal in the work of making claims. Refusal is not just a no, but a generative stance, situated in a critical understanding of settler colonialism and its regimes of representation. Refusals are needed to counter narratives and images arising (becoming-claims) in social science research that diminish personhood or sovereignty, …

Breaking up with Deleuze: Desire and Valuing the Irreconcilable
In this article, Eve Tuck grapples with Gilles Deleuze's conceptualization of desire, finding it simultaneously generative and unsatisfying. Recognizing that Deleuze will not 'say' what Tuck wants him to say about desire – that it is smart, and constitutes expertise – Tuck reasons that there is only one thing she can do: break up with Deleuze. The article is organized into several break‐up rituals, and in each of the rituals, the author works to …

Geotheorizing Black/Land
In this article, researchers from an academic institution and researchers from a community-based organization theorize a recent collaboration. This "contingent collaboration" was designed to analyze interviews that had been conducted by the community organization and required the purposeful negotiation of two thresholds, one methodological, the other empirical. Writing together across diverse experiences with academic research, the authors consid…

Humiliating ironies and dangerous dignities: A dialectic of school pushout
This article explores youth resistance to urban public high schools that both inadvertently and by design push out students before graduation. The author details how youth experience the institutional production of school non-completion as a dialectic of humiliating ironies and dangerous dignities, a dialectic of school pushout. The author describes how some youth position themselves in ways that are dangerous to the institution of schooling, and…

Suspending Damage: A Letter to Communities
In this open letter, Eve Tuck calls on communities, researchers, and educators to reconsider the long-term impact of "damage-centered" research-research that intends to document peoples' pain and brokenness to hold those in power accountable for their oppression. This kind of research operates with a flawed theory of change: it is often used to leverage reparations or resources for marginalized communities yet simultaneously reinforces and reinsc…

Decolonizing Feminism: Challenging Connections between Settler Colonialism and Heteropatriarchy
The article explores two intertwined ideas: that the United States is a settler colonial nation-state and that settler colonialism has been and continues to be a gendered process. The article engages Native feminist theories to excavate the deep connections between settler colonialism and heteropatriarchy, highlighting five central challenges that Native feminist theories pose to gender and women's studies. From problematizing settler colonialism…
Youth Resistance Research and Theories of Change
Curriculum, Replacement, and Settler Futurity
This paper describes the ways in which “curriculum” has been and continues to be a project of settler colonialism, premised on white settler supremacy. We examine a number of ways in which this has manifested and how various attempts at interrupting this not only get sidelined, but reappropriated in ways that re-inscribe settler colonialism and settler futurity through strategies of replacement. We use the character of Natty Bumppo from James Fen…
