Pushing Methodological Boundaries and Performing Dissertation Writing

Sat, April 5, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Convention Center, Floor: 100 Level, 121C

Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

This structured poster session brings together a group of multiethnic researchers to explore creative ways to push methodological boundaries and liberate dissertation writing by diving into life and writing into contradiction in schools, families, and communities in the U. S. South. Through visual, graphic, and multimedia presentations, reader’s theater, drama, and performance, the presenters will illustrate diverse forms of dissertation research and representations such as cross-cultural narrative inquiry, critical race narrative inquiry, critical race geographical narrative inquiry, auto/biographical inquiry, critical ethnographic inquiry, critical aesthetic inquiry, critical portraiture, memoir, fiction, oral history, documentary film, painting, and poetry. Innovative writings engendered from the inquiries will be also demonstrated. The potentials, challenges, and future directions of various inquiries and representations are also discussed.
