Reimagining Dialogue: A Qualitative Methodological Shift in Unraveling the Intersections of Identity, Language, and Power

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The symposium offers diverse perspectives on dialogic reimagination, promoting criticality, innovation, and multimodality in qualitative research about identity, language, and power. Panelists showcase dialogue as a qualitative research tool for data collection, analysis, knowledge-sharing, and understanding. Each presentation invites active engagement in qualitative research on critical issues relating to the intersection of identity, language and power through critical partnership and collaborative inquiry. Collectively, the symposium highlights dialogue as an integrative qualitative research model of self-inquiry and social activism, providing a valuable standpoint to explore our sense of self in the world through participatory exploration and questioning in educational contexts.
