Understanding Entangled Relationships Between Un/Interrogated Privileges: Tracing Research Pathways With Contemplative Art-Making,Duoethnography,and Pecha Kucha
I explore how using a bag portrait activity, duoethnography, and a mixed-medium layering method of arts-informed analysis in a doctoral-level qualitative research class enhanced students’ understanding of their un/interrogated privileges, relationship between Self and Other, and the role of creativity in inquiry. Using pecha kucha as a medium and a message allowed me to integrate visual information and de/colonial and anti-oppressionist narratives. Using creativity as a mode of instructional activity, class project, way of data collection, analysis, and representation lend to aspects of performative selves and our role as agentic, ethical, compassionate qualitative researchers.
