Abstract

This paper traces the improvisational moves the authors had to make, as a Black woman graduate student and an Indian woman dissertation supervisor in a predominantly white space in academia, to cultivate a framework informed by Black feminist thought, womanism, endarkened feminist epistemology, and narrative inquiry in qualitative research. Conducting culturally situated inquiry in hostile spaces characterized by disproportionate power relations and multiple interconnected oppressive structures makes us vulnerable in the bodies in which we do this work. In this paper, we discuss the creation of an endarkened approach to narrative inquiry through methodological improvisation.

摘要

本文追溯了作者作为一名黑人女性研究生和一名印度女性论文导师在学术界占主导地位的白色空间中必须采取的即兴行动，以培养一个以黑人女权主义思想、女性主义、暗沉的女权主义认识论和叙事为基础的框架。定性研究中的探究。在以不成比例的权力关系和多重相互关联的压迫结构为特征的敌对空间中进行文化定位的调查，使我们在进行这项工作的身体中变得脆弱。在本文中，我们讨论了通过方法论的即兴创作来创建一种封闭的叙事探究方法。
