These are certainly troubled times in which neoliberal capitalist patriarchy and the tyranny of racism and domination are continually reinscribed on the bodies and lives of so many. However, critical ...researchers understand the necessity for, as well as the difficulty of, using research to facilitate public transformations that lead to increased justice and equity. The authors contributing to Making Research Public in Troubled Times recognize the importance of diverse pedagogies, activism, and ethical choices regarding an environment that supports critical research in such oppressive times. Diverse pedagogies that can facilitate the education of critical public researchers across disciplines are illustrated in the first set of chapters addressing questions like: What is important in teaching critical qualitative inquiry? How do students, materials, histories, and the public influence this teaching? What have we learned over years of attempting to teach critical qualitative research methods? The authors in the second section are activist local scholars sharing their projects and explaining what this work means for critical qualitative inquiry. This work includes methods used to incorporate critical qualitative inquiry into community activism. Finally, chapters in the last section focus on future steps and most important actions for the ways critical qualitative inquiry can be conceptualized to address concerns in these troubled times.

In this article, the authors recuperate the mind–body connection lost in procedural and theoretical forms of qualitative analysis. They offer a glimpse into their em-bodied data analysis ...practice—movement, travel, and dreaming/meditation—as modes of analysis post-coding that respect the physical (body, movement, space, and time) and the metaphysical (dreams, mediation, creative acts) simultaneously. Daza describes her process as percolating, while Huckaby frames hers as trekking.
Explores, explicates, and encourages critical qualitative research that engages the arts and born-digital scholarship; and offers options for understanding neoliberalism, revealing its impact on ...communities, and resisting it as ideology, practice, and law. While this book focuses on neoliberalism within the realm of public education, the implications extend to many other areas of public life.
This paper explores promiscuous black feminism by juxtaposing black feminism, Foucualt's poststructuralism, and my grandmother. The tensions created by these juxtapositions illuminate the ways black ...feminism and poststructuralism are resources and challenges to each other, and how both offer understandings of the relations at play that shape identities and lives. Making use of these theories and lessons from my grandmother, I explore the necessity and dangers of experience in theorizing power and vulnerability in theorizing experience. Focusing on experiences and feminist lessons from my grandmother, I propose that much more than power is at play.
