集体研究的方法论和理论问题是什么?在提出问题,说话的过程中,并指出高和低灯的合作研究方法,我的论文解决了代表性和权力转移的问题,是中央女权主义者的调查,批判教育学,批判种族理论,研究关注社会(不)正义和包容。具体而言,本文探讨了研究作为社会变革工具的可能性(Kitchin和Hubbard,1999; Fine和Barreras,2001; Torre,2001; Clarke,2003; Pain,2003; Pain和弗朗西斯,2003; Ruddick,2004)。考虑到研究过程的潜力,为质疑排斥性做法和社会不平等提供了一个空间。讨论的重点是一个参与性的行动研究项目,其中一组年轻的女性研究人员批判性地研究他们的家乡社区-纽约市的下东区社区-使经济结构调整和他们自己的生活之间往往痛苦的联系。我报告了这个研究小组开发的项目,“让我疯狂:有色人种城市年轻妇女的陈规定型观念”,该项目涉及社区资源的缺乏如何与这些年轻妇女被认为的方式有关(Rios-Moore,2004年)。下面的项目大纲提供了一个广泛的概述是什么是一个非常复杂的,激烈的,和丰富的经验。我对这个项目的讨论将集中在三个关键的转折点上:情感动机;个人经历的政治化;以及用研究来反驳的力量。这些都是研究团队(包括我自己)学到新东西的关键时刻;它们是集体的里程碑
What are the methodological and theoretical issues of doing collective research? While raising questions that speak to the process and point to the high and low lights of a collaborative research approach, my paper addresses issues of representation and shifting power that are central to feminist inquiry, critical pedagogy, critical race theory, and research concerned with social (in)justice and inclusion. Specifically this paper grapples with the possibility of research as a vehicle for social change (Kitchin and Hubbard, 1999; Fine and Barreras, 2001; Torre, 2001; Clarke, 2003; Pain, 2003; Pain and Francis, 2003; Ruddick, 2004). Consideration is given to the potential of the research process to provide a space for questioning exclusionary practices and social inequities. The discussion focuses on a participatory action research project in which a group of young women researchers critically examine their home community—the Lower East Side neighborhood of New York City—making often painful connections between economic restructuring and their own lives. I report on the project that this research team developed, ‘MAKES ME MAD: Stereotypes of young urban womyn of color’, which deals with how the lack of resources in their community is related to the ways in which these young women are perceived (Rios-Moore, 2004). The outline of the project that follows offers a broad overview of what was a very complex, intense, and rich experience. My discussion of the project will center on three critical turning points: emotional motivation; the politicization of personal experience; and the power of speaking back with research. These are critical moments where the research team (including myself) learned something new; they are collective landmarks
