Rupturing the White Gaze: Centering Chicana/Latina Feminista Methodologies and Epistemologies in Qualitative Research

Sat, April 13, 9:35 to 11:05am, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 116

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

As a way to reify the methodological disruptions and epistemologies of Chicana/Latina feminist scholars that tend to AERA’s call to dismantle racial injustice within research, this session highlights the use of Chicana/Latina feminist methodologies to ask: How do Chicana/Latina feminist scholars embody and engage in research that disrupts racist Eurocentric qualitative research practices? What methodologies are used by Chicana/Latina feminist scholars that support their work? The authors present and envision several Chicana/Latina feminist methodological approaches (i.e, feminista pláticas, Chicana/Latina Feminista Critical Ethnography, Critical Race Feminista Epistolary Methodology) to promote justice-oriented collaboration among research collaborators, researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders. Ultimately, the authors challenge research practices that reinforce oppressive systems of power and domination.
