"Qualitative research is a paradigm that embraces the uncertainty of everyday life, broadly conceived. Variables such as race, class, and gender are such an intricate part of human life they can never be isolated, so the research used to study lived experiences must take into account social identities such as race and gender. Introduction to Intersectional Qualitative Research makes those identities of the researcher and the participant central to the task of qualitative study. This book will serve as a guide to teach ways of thinking, being, and doing that will shape a student's journey to becoming a qualitative researcher. Following the progression of the research process, this book will integrate the basics of qualitative research with intersectional issues that are crucial to take into account at every step of the research process. Each chapter will include an opening vignette of real stories from both novice and expert researchers showing struggles and successes in qualitative research. Exercises along the way will help students learn the basics of qualitative research while simultaneously interrogating their positions and identities. The book concludes with the writing of a research proposal, with sections on writing up your complete research for dissemination"--

Girls of color have been left out of discussions on youth participatory action research (YPAR) as well as gender- and race-based scholarship related to school marginalization. How Black girls and other girls of color experience girlhood is undertheorized. In this particular discussion, high school girls themselves expose the ways in which girls are punished in schools. Using participatory action research (PAR), high school students unveil girls of color experiences in schools as "dangerous bodies." The author asseverates that Black girls and other girls of color "flip the script" by becoming conscientious and active agents in social change through the research process.

"Privilege Through the Looking-Glass is a collection of original essays that explore privilege and status characteristics in daily life. This collection seeks to make visible that which is often invisible. It seeks to sensitize us to things we have been taught not to see. Privilege, power, oppression, and domination operate in complex and insidious ways, impacting groups and individuals. And yet, these forces that affect our lives so deeply seem to at once operate in plain sight and lurk in the shadows, making them difficult to discern. Like water to a fish, environments are nearly impossible to perceive when we are immersed in them. This book attempts to expose our environments. With engaging and powerful writing, the contributors share their personal stories as a means of connecting the personal and the public. This volume applies an intersectional perspective to explore how race, class, gender, sexuality, education, and ableness converge, creating the basis for privilege and oppression. Privilege Through the Looking-Glass encourages readers to engage in self and social reflection, and can be used in a range of courses in sociology, social work, communication, education, gender studies, and African American studies. Each chapter includes discussion questions and/or activities for further engagement"--Publisher description
