Description

Meagan Call-Cummings is an Associate Professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Education. She specializes in critical, participatory, and feminist methodologies and teaches doctoral-level courses in critical qualitative inquiry, narrative inquiry, participatory action research, and anti-colonial methodologies. She has published articles in journals including Qualitative Inquiry, Qualitative Research, the International Journal of Research and Method in Education, The Qualitative Report, Educational Action Research, High School Journal, Action Research, and the International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education. She is particularly committed to her work with the Youth Research Council and the Summer Institute in Anti-Racist and Decolonizing Research Methods: Revolutionizing Research for Social Change. Giovanni P. Dazzo is an Assistant Professor of Qualitative Research and Evaluation Methodologies in the Mary Frances Early College of Education at the University of Georgia. He employs critical forms of participatory action research, ethnography, narrative and visual inquiries, and program evaluation, and teaches doctoral-level courses in qualitative methods, mixed methods, program evaluation, and critical participatory inquiry. As a methodologist, he focuses on restorative forms of inquiry (i.e., research that heals), epistemic justice, and critical and standpoint theories. He has published in journals including The Qualitative Report, Educational Action Research, Conflict Resolution Quarterly, and New Directions for Evaluation. His work on the concept of (re)imagining inquiry as restorative practice is currently funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Melissa Hauber-OEzer is an Assistant Professor of Qualitative Inquiry in the Department of Learning, Teaching, and Curriculum at the University of Missouri-Columbia. She teaches graduate courses in qualitative research methods, critical participatory inquiry, and educational philosophy. Her research employs critical participatory, ethnographic, and narrative methodologies to examine issues of educational access and equity for linguistically and culturally diverse learners. She has published in several edited volumes and journals, including the International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education, the Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, Action Research, and the International Journal of Research and Method in Education. Melissa's current work addresses community-identified needs in partnership with a local non-profit organization supporting refugees and immigrants in mid-Missouri.

The most thoughtful approach to CPI to date, with lots of nuanced discussion of power, inequality and positionality. The text is replete with examples from community studies using a variety of media. -- Samuel Collins The book is solidly grounded in relevant foundational and contemporary research and presents an array of robust, innovative participatory and arts-based methods to engage in collaborative inquiry with a research collective. The book invites researchers into the process and provides a set of reflexive guides and practices with which to conceptualize and implement participatory research in a variety of contexts and spaces. -- Heidi R. Bacon This book offers a nuanced and complex look at critical participatory research. The approach of the text offers an insight into how these scholars arrived at the work and how to then do this work from varying perspectives. -- Anne M. Hornak I found the practice activities and focus activities very thought-provoking and valuable from a teaching standpoint. Overall, the writing continues to be very accessible. -- Julie Steinkopf This is a thought provoking and challenging new way to look at research in the context of social justice. -- S. Jay Kuder This is the first time I have read a comprehensive book chapter covering digital and social media research so succinctly. The authors provided examples of creative ways to take action with research and sharing findings. I think this message is important in taking action; we can and should disseminate research through multiple avenues. -- Nancy A Watkins This book introduces Critical Practitioner Inquiry that is user-friendly and socially aware. The authors are well-versed in the literature, but their personal experiences with CPI truly make the book come to life. The connections to real-world examples were outstanding. The authors did a wonderful job of gaining credibility by sharing their own work as well as work that has been published in the field. -- Ryan Flessner I like its flow, the use of a reference list after every chapter. It is rich in content and uses real life examples. -- Margaret Lombe The post-colonial and post-structural, dialogic approach makes this pretty unique and helpful. -- Louise Jezierski The topical coverage feels very unique for a text of this kind. For instance, discussions on power dynamics, creating relational connections, forming inquiry collectives. The comprehensiveness of the chapter discussions is notable. I also appreciated that this book was unflinching in discussions on the epistemological foundations of CPI and the importance these positions have on the methodology. -- Shannon Calderone Each chapter was well-organized, presented just the right amount of content, and referenced helpful examples to support the learning objectives. The conversational tone makes this text feel supportive and accessible. -- Dr. Shannon Alpert This book is an authentic and accessible take on CPR. The authors voice, structure, flow and content are all spot on.... Overall, the book is both hard hitting and cuts no corners, WHILE being accessible. -- Steven D. Drouin This text provides a rich overview of the foundations of critical participatory research, allowing students to explore, examine, reflect, and take action with specific techniques, inquiry, and suggested activities in each chapter. -- Maryam Kia-Keating This text provides a great history of CPI and uses reflective exercises to help students critically examine how knowledge is created and why this is important for democratizing research. -- Felicia J. Tuggle This book considers research in a fresh way that places the community fully in the center. It challenges traditional research epistemology which can replicate the very systems of domination and exclusion we seek to break down. -- Kirk A. Foster Easy for students to read and digest. -- Jessica Wendorf Muhamad
