Abstract

In this article, Curammeng addresses how Ethnic Studies can inform portraiture and its capacity for qualitative research studies. Using Filipino American teachers’ narratives, Curammeng describes portraiture as collages demonstrating how such an approach offers new modes of engagement for portraitists’ collaborators and readers. The implications from this work illuminate how portraiture – through an Ethnic Studies perspective – draws attention to the multi-layered and nuanced experiences of teachers, how they make sense of their work as minoritized people, and how qualitative researchers can utilize Ethnic Studies with portraiture to capture these nuances. Finally, Curammeng argues for the consideration of ‘decipherment’ to piece together new methodological strengths for portraitists and educational research.

摘要

在这篇文章中，Curammeng 阐述了种族研究如何为肖像画及其定性研究的能力提供信息。Curammeng 使用菲律宾裔美国教师的叙述，将肖像画描述为拼贴画，展示了这种方法如何为肖像画家的合作者和读者提供新的参与模式。这项工作的意义阐明了肖像画——通过种族研究的视角——如何引起人们对教师多层次和细微差别的体验的关注，他们如何理解他们作为少数民族的工作，以及定性研究人员如何利用带有肖像画的种族研究来捕捉这些细微差别。最后，Curammeng 主张考虑“解密”，为肖像画家和教育研究拼凑出新的方法论优势。
