Purpose

Qualitative research consistently centers Eurocentrism through courses' integrations of ontological, epistemological and axiological perspectives. This literal whitewashing was a source of great frustration and confusion for the authors, four Black women, who found their identities omitted and disregarded in qualitative inquiry. Using Collins' outsider-within concept and collective narratives to center their experiences, the authors seek through their writing to actively repurpose and re-engage with qualitative scholarship that generally seeks to exclude Black women.

Design/methodology/approach

Theoretically informed by Collins' outsider-within concept, the authors use Deleuze and Parnet's collective biography to tell the stories of four Black doctoral students negotiating race, gender, class and intellectual identity, while critiquing Eurocentric theory, through coursework. The collaborative writing process provided shared space for the engagement of individual thoughts and experiences with(in) others' narratives.

Findings

Black women can interpret qualitative inquiry outside of the Eurocentric norm, and qualitative courses can provide spaces for them to do so by repositioning Black women philosophers as central to understanding qualitative inquiry.

Originality/value

Through collective biography (Deleuze and Parnet, 2007), this paper centers the voices of four Black women scholars who use a creative writing approach to think with/through theory as Black women (Jackson and Mazzei, 2012). The paper offers new discussions of and ways in which qualitative researchers might decolonize Eurocentric ways of knowing in qualitative inquiry and qualitative pedagogy from students' perspectives.

在欧洲中心论中发现自己是黑人女性:关于学习和重塑定性调查的合作传记

目的

通过课程整合本体论、认识论和价值论观点,定性研究始终以欧洲中心主义为中心。这种字面上的粉饰使作者,四名黑人女性感到非常沮丧和困惑,她们发现自己的身份在定性调查中被忽略和忽视。使用柯林斯的局外人概念和集体叙事来集中他们的经历,作者试图通过他们的写作积极地重新定位并重新参与通常旨在排除黑人女性的定性学术。

设计/方法/方法

在柯林斯的局外人概念的理论启发下,作者使用德勒兹和帕内特的集体传记讲述了四名黑人博士生的故事,他们通过课程作业来讨论种族、性别、阶级和知识身份,同时批评欧洲中心论。协作写作过程为个人的想法和经验与他人的叙述(在)中的参与提供了共享空间。

发现

黑人女性可以在以欧洲为中心的规范之外解释定性调查,而定性课程可以通过将黑人女性哲学家重新定位为理解定性调查的核心,为她们提供这样做的空间。

原创性/价值

通过集体传记(Deleuze 和 Parnet,2007 年),本文集中了四位黑人女性学者的声音,她们使用创造性的写作方法以黑人女性的身份思考/通过理论思考(Jackson 和 Mazzei,2012 年)。本文提供了定性研究人员可以从学生的角度对定性调查和定性教学法中以欧洲为中心的认识方式进行非殖民化的新讨论和方式。
