Supporting Epistemological Diversity and Widening the Struggle for Justice: New Directions in Critical Qualitative Research

Sat, April 14, 12:25 to 1:55pm, Sheraton Wall Centre, Floor: Fourth Level, North Port McNeill

Session Submission Type: Symposium

Abstract

The panelists in this session provide theoretical insights and share empirical research for the purpose of making qualitative research a transformative social practice that is designed to bring awareness to causes of oppression as well as ways to dismantle it. Although the presenters’ sessions hold diverse epistemological assumptions of the driving forces behind institutional inequalities, they display a solidarity of working across differences to imagine the possibility of qualitative research becoming a central force in building a social movement predicated on the ideals of justice, equity, and diversity. Some of the presenters also illustrate the importance of engaging in qualitative research on multiple fronts, in multiple contexts, and including multiple social actors, including students, marginalized populations, and schoolteachers.
