Description
Book SynopsisCare-Based Methodologies reimagines relationships between researchers and youth participants in school-based research. The book calls attention to care-based methodologies as essential to qualitative and ethnographic research in schools, particularly when participants are youth from nondominant communities. While researchers come to schools seeking to understand youths' lived experiences and become implicated in the quotidian rhythms of their lives, it is rare that they receive training on how to navigate the complex interpersonal dynamics and relationships that take shape during long-term school research. How can researchers ensure that they care for the wellbeing of youth, not just the stories and data collected from them? How do researchers maneuver the various roles they may come to play in youth's lives over the course of, and beyond, a study with care? What happens when scholars transgress the traditional power dynamics of researcher-participant relationships to walk with youth i
Trade ReviewThis new volume represents an urgent paradigm shift away from research as extraction, and towards a relational ethics of care. The authors powerfully model how research can illuminate, mobilize and embody the transformative power of relationships characterized by love and dignity. Required reading for the everyday work of educational justice. * Shirin Vossoughi, Associate Professor in Learning Sciences, Northwestern University, USA *
Care-Based Methodologies is a rich and timely exploration of approaches to qualitative inquiry that center relationship, heart, and humanity in every aspect of research design and practice. Readers will find chapters brimming with actionable guidance and vibrant illustrations of how centering care deepens the critical impact of research with youth. * Elizabeth Dutro, Professor of Literacy Studies, University of Colorado Boulder, USA *
