Session Submission Summary

Literacy Research in Uncertain Times: Becoming “Undisciplined”

Fri, November 30, 10:15 to 11:45am, Renaissance Indian Wells, Floor: Terrace Level, Valencia 5

Session Submission Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium brings together literacy researchers who seek to trouble traditional efforts to “make the process of qualitative inquiry fit into positivist notions of what research is” (Paris & Winn, 2013, p. xix). Drawing on diverse theoretical perspectives, we hope to offer methodological insights as to what makes justice research im/possible. We consider how becoming “undisciplined” (Sharpe, 2016) requires different modes and methods that are not grounded in violence but, rather, in love.
