Feminisms from Unthought Locations: Indigenous Worldviews, Marginalized Feminisms, and Revisioning an Anticolonial Social Science

Preparing Teacher-Researchers for Local-Global, Multicultural Classrooms: Prospects for Postcritical and Feminist Qualitative Methodologies

“…This both expands knowledge possibilities and increases the necessity for caution among researchers who may "attempt to speak for 'the other/s' in a global context" (Hesse-Biber, p. 13) shaped by extreme power disparities. Drawing from and inclusive of scholars of decolonizing, indigenizing, and endarkening methodologies-such as Smith (1997), Cannella and Manuelito (2008), Saavedra & Nymark (2008), and Dillard and Okpalaoka (2011), to name a few-globally conscious feminist methodologies may further inform teacher-researchers' post/critical, local-global approaches. Gained insights include respect for indigenous knowledge, self-determination, and linguistic rights throughout research (and educative) processes (Cannella & Manuelito, 2008;Smith, 1997); the myriad, complex, and fluctuating possibilities of borderland experiences (Anzaldua, 1987;Saavedra & Nymark, 2008); and the spiritual potential of reciprocal, relational qualitative research through endarkening feminist methodologies (Dillard and Okpalaoka, 2011).…”

Taking holistic, reflexive, and collaborative approaches to understanding the complexities and multiplicities of human experiences, such scholarship resides at the vanguard of social research and offers highly pertinent theoretical and methodological insights for post/critical, local-global classrooms.…”

Researching the Assemblage of Cultural Diversity in Norway

“…Dominant research approaches can, following Koro-Ljungberg & Mazzei (2012), 'rely on the authority and normativity of methods to produce knowledge devoid of critical reflection and contextual consideration ' (p. 728). We are indebted to researchers within the field of early childhood education and care (ECEC) who have inspired us to challenge what we understand as simplistic research methodologies (e.g., Cannella & Manuelito, 2008;Rhedding-Jones, 2007), methodologies that we see as part of a neoliberal assemblage of cultural diversity in the Norwegian ECEC landscape.…”

Beforeplay: Family stories, teen and adult parents and sexual health communication.

“…Mothers may reflect on their gendered position in society, resulting in an influence on discussing sexuality (Canella & Manuelito, 2008). Mothers in Woody et al (2008) indicated that they experienced guilt when discussing sexuality with youth.…”
