Searching for a New Dessert Recipe: An Anti-Oppressive Approach to Research by Centering Language and Culture
Abstract
Through this paper, I aim to articulate how I have recentered my research from post-positivism to constructionism epistemology. This recentering was driven by the need to better align my research on multilingualism with the priorities, concerns, and aspirations of the multilingual communities that I serve. I describe three key frameworks that inform my work: Community Based Participatory Research, Community Cultural Wealth, and Transformative Research Paradigm. I illustrate the application of these frameworks with examples from research conducted within my lab. An anti-oppressive approach to research is achieved by linking these frameworks and applying them to my research program.
Keywords: multilingualism, social justice, anti-oppressive research, research methods
