Collaborating with transnational families
This manuscript centers on the experiences of caretakers of minors in Honduran transnational families (TNFs) in which one or both parents emigrated, and of the schoolteachers, professional psychologists, and spiritual leaders working with these families. We report on the participants' knowledge and learned lessons, which we place in dialog with the interdisciplinary literature on TNFs in sociology, psychology, gender studies, and cultural studies…
Familias Transnacionales Hondureñas
En las familias transnacionales, el reparto de responsabilidades y la organización de los cuidados de los menores o adolescentes pasan a ser centrales en las vidas de quienes se quedan a cargo de estos en el país de origen cuando uno o ambos progenitores emigran. Esta investigación cualitativa recoge y analiza las necesidades, experiencias y afectos de esta población cuidadora, principalmente conformada por mujeres, en el contexto del occidente d…
I don't want this for my daughter, because this is what I experienced
Amid media representations of migrant male children travelling alone, the flow of young migrant women to Europe has increased since 2018. This research focuses on the voices of unaccompanied migrant girls, who face invisibility as children, migrants, and women. We present an empirical study conducted in southern Spain on how the invisibility of young migrant women shapes their feelings and perceptions of social exclusion and belonging. Through th…
Transmethodologies
This article introduces the concept and practice of transmethodologies (TMs) as a research frame that challenges the ways in which methodologies act as borders that create epistemological and ontological insides and outsides. TMs allow shifting the frame of inquiry from methodological borders, which impose disciplinary truths and hinder the permeability of knowledge across paradigms, to ontoepistemological boundaries in which knowledge making is …
“My job is to keep my body healthy”
CONTEXT: The ballet institution is known for its aesthetic and performative standards. In professional dancers' everyday lives, self-improvement and body awareness entwine with striving for artistic excellence. In this context, 'health' has primarily been explored in relation to eating disorders, pain, and injuries. AIM: This paper explores dancers' health practices, namely how they are shaped by the ballet institution and how they relate to broa…
Parents who migrate without their children
What psychosocial impacts does migrating without children have on parents? How do the reconfigurations of gendered dynamics in transnational families (TFs) affect the well‐being and subjectivities of mothers and fathers in the hosting and sending communities? Through this literature meta‐synthesis, we describe six main areas of concern for parents who migrate without their children: (a) migration and family roles; (b) affects; (c) negotiations of…
Resiliencia en adolescentes infractores con trayectorias en los sistemas chilenos de bienestar infantil y de justicia adolescente
This article delves into the processes of signification regarding resilience among adolescents who have traversed the Chilean child welfare and juvenile justice systems, as it plays a pivotal role in identifying factors conducive to adaptation and social integration. Drawing from qualitative research grounded in a phenomenological approach, the study analyzed six in-depth, semi-structured interviews with adolescents who have interacted with both …

Rediscovering the roots and wonder of qualitative psychology in Spain
After providing a short introduction to qualitative research in psychology in Spain, we report and interpret the results of an online survey in which 47 qualitative psychologists answered questions about their location, research topic, research group, and the strengths, limitations, and challenges of being a qualitative researcher in Spain. The participants enthusiastically endorsed the use of qualitative methodologies, which were especially prai…
Qualitative research in social and organizational psychology
This article provides a description of the presence of qualitative research in Italian social and organisational psychology. The first section of the article identifies three major phases of qualitative methods and the factors that, from the 1990s, played a major role in their development: the legitimisation of qualitative research in sociology, the rising of theoretical perspectives expressing a critical stance toward the hegemonic quantitative …
Toward a critical reflexivity in qualitative inquiry
Hate groups targeting unauthorized immigrants in the US
The narratives and images on websites of US hate groups that oppose undocumented immigrants represent and reproduce discourses that contribute to the subject formation of group members, who feel ethically obliged to counter unauthorized immigration. Left alone by the government, which is seen as unreliable and uncaring of patriotic values, they position themselves as heroic saviours of the nation. We argue that these hate groups' 'games of truth'…
Memory, Remembering, and Oblivion in Active Narrative Interviewing
Research interviewing is not just a practice of exchanging data through communication and collection. Rather, the qualitative interview is an active process in which participants and researchers take part in a situated co-construction of meanings and memories. In this article, I argue for viewing memories and the acts of storing, accessing, and telling the past as relational processes in which the researcher's position shifts from collector to co…
Introduction to the Special Issue
In this article, we position the special issue and explore some of the common interests and voices that tend to be shared among the field of qualitative psychology and the authors and assays that appear in the following pages. In doing this, we draw the contours of qualitative psychology that, in our view, is characterized mainly by the appreciation of complexity of knowledge, by the strong belief in the relational and collaborative view of the p…
The Past if Past
Especially in the case of refugees, the past and its memory tend to be definitional components for personal and social constructions of identity. At the same time, the relationship with the past is frequently problematic and challenging. This study identifies two main narratives and subject positions adopted by refugee participants from the former Yugoslavia: ‘the past is past’ and ‘the past is our strength.’ I analyse the complexity implicit in …
Between Researcher and Researched
When doing research on topics that are sensitive and involve core dimensions of the researcher's identities and subjectivities, the process of inquiry is likely to generate significant emotions, attachments, and reactions that transgress traditional forms of data and research positions. If embraced and addressed, the researcher's emotional reactions can be an important source of reflexivity and data as well as creativity, motivation, and engageme…
“Mission Civilisatrice”
In this paper, we take issue with the supposed superiority of specific epistemologies, methodologies, and research practices, as well as the neocolonialist practices of discovery, development and interpretation of evidence. Furthermore, we illustrate how the colonization of evidence is enacted through discourses of domination, subjectivication, and civilization. We maintain that these practices and discourses intend to establish more unified, nar…
The Technologies of Normalization and Self
In this article, the authors discuss the technologies of normalization and self in relation to ethics and the problematization of extrinsic research ethics. They argue that institutional review boards (IRBs) and other similar institutional mechanisms promote extrinsic forms of ethics that are exemplified through institutionalized structures such as (a) the Belmont Report, (b) IRB protocol, (c) informed consent, and (d) localized interpretations o…
