The purposes of this article are to introduce a special issue of Qualitative Inquiry focusing on “Racisms in Qualitative Inquiry” and to make obvious the institutionalized perspectives and practices of racism that are embedded in the conceptualizations and doings of qualitative research. The articles address unexamined purposes, direct practices, and methodologies of research like coding and biases in representation, along with rethinking and reconceptualizing research though knowledges like Black Studies (and other Ethnic Studies generally) and the use of methodologies that have been ignored and excluded like pláticas. The final articles discuss those hidden relational and policy complexities in higher education as the predominant location for the practice and rewarding of qualitative inquiry.

本文的目的是介绍定性研究的特刊，重点是“定性研究中的种族主义”，并阐明嵌入在定性研究的概念化和行动中的种族主义的制度化观点和实践。这些文章涉及未经审查的目的、直接实践和研究方法，如编码和代表性偏见，以及通过黑人研究（以及其他一般的其他民族研究）等知识重新思考和重新概念化研究，以及使用被忽视和排除的方法，如普拉蒂卡斯。最后的文章讨论了高等教育中隐藏的关系和政策复杂性，将其作为定性探究实践和奖励的主要场所。
