The writing in this essay confronts and is troubled by writing. In the ensuing encounters with writing selves and writing as doing as “creative-relationally more-than [simply] human”1 practice, a sense of writing as immanent and in immanence is emergent in the always becoming of the essay as event. In the capaciousness of this practice, onto-methodo-genetic approaches are used to set up dis-allowances of the stable and tendentious fixities of ontology and methodology, in turn making movements away from simply human being toward always animal-becoming.

In this essay, I reflect on the events leading up to and immediately following the 2019 National Communication Association Organizational Communication Division's Top Paper Panel. In my reflection, I examine not only the events that happened, but also the role that my complacency played in my (lacking) preparation for pushback. In particular, I discuss how, in spite of my desire to be an ally for scholars of color, I had treated the problems facing marginalized scholars as an intellectual problem that was stripped of the emotional consequences. I conclude with a call to action to recognize complacency among white scholars as its own kind of violence.

In this essay, we consider the emergence of the concept of creative-relational inquiry (C-RI). We want to push further at the engagement between the creative, the relational, and the hyphen that binds them, and how it might provide a nuanced effort to problematize, and provide alternatives for, taken-for-granted assumptions concerning research and research practices. We work with C-RI as a concept and/or concept-as-methodology, and consider explorations and themes developed by the authors in this special issue as they also mobilize C-RI. We develop a conversation about our understanding and use of C-RI in our respective disciplines.

The scenes in this reflection explore the ways my white, queer, nonbinary body navigates a professional association from the margins under the influence of white supremacy. I confess to shadow feelings of self-importance that continuously creep up as I engage in anti-racist work and consider how this presence of white righteousness must be relentlessly undermined and destabilized as we work to consider new and alternative futures for (organizational) communication studies.

This essay sketches the possibilities for creative-relational inquiry through the lens of theatre and performance, particularly the writings of Peter Brook and Tim Etchells on “the empty space” and through affect theory and nonrepresentational writing, particularly the work of Kathleen Stewart, Ken Gale, and Jonathan Wyatt.

Inspired by Dwight Conquergood, who calls on scholars to engage in intimate conversations, I offer an autoethnographic approach to explore the interconnectivity between place attachment, shame culture, and what I refer to as identity suicide through my journey to finding an attachment to place, to having interaction. Through these findings, I discovered the self-acceptance that had always been a struggle to reach due to the choices I was making within the shame culture in which I was living. This work is a reflective processing of my choices along this journey—choices that are denied to so many other queer individuals.

Although the field of critical qualitative inquiry is saturated with literature on methodologies and theoretical orientations, there is less scholarship that explores the dynamics that prevail when women of color conduct critical qualitative inquiry with participants who share their identities. Using scholarly personal narrative (SNP), our project examines the intricacies of kinship found between women of color researchers and their research participants. More specifically, this article presents narratives of an African American scholar, a British Pakistani immigrant scholar, and two Latina (Mexican) immigrant scholars who explore dilemmas and rewards that surfaced in our research within our individual communities.

I welcome our readers to the first issue of Volume 9 of Departures in Critical Qualitative Research ( DCQR ). In many ways, this issue is a continuation—both directly and indirectly—of our “Merit, Whiteness, and Privilege” special issue ( DCQR 8.4). The special issue came about as a response to a controversial summer vis-a-vis inclusion, diversity, and nonwhite/minoritized representation in communication studies, the field that is my home. We received upward of 35 submissions for the issue, which was rigorously coedited by Amardo Rodriguez, Mohan J. Dutta, and Elizabeth F. Desnoyers-Colas. This was a substantial number of submissions given that I invited the three coeditors in the middle of the ongoing controversy, thereby making the length of time between the call for papers and the submission date less than three weeks. Although we were able to feature about half of the peer-reviewed essays that we received in DCQR 8.4, at the close of the …
我欢迎我们的读者阅读《批判性定性研究的偏离》(DCQR)第9卷的第一期。从很多方面来说,这期杂志都是我们的“优点、白人和特权”特刊(DCQR 8.4)的直接或间接的延续。这期特刊的出现是为了回应今年夏天在传播学研究领域(传播学是我的家)中关于包容性、多样性和非白人/少数族裔代表性的争议。我们收到了35份以上的投稿,由Amardo Rodriguez, Mohan J. Dutta和Elizabeth F. Desnoyers-Colas严格合编。考虑到我在持续的争议中邀请了三位共同编辑,这是相当多的提交量,因此从论文征集到提交日期的时间长度不到三周。虽然我们能够在DCQR 8.4中提供大约一半的同行评议文章,但在结束时……

Representations of undocumented people on television shows such as The Fosters can impact how audiences understand contemporary issues concerning sanctuary and migrants. In this Critical Intervention forum essay, we examine the intricate representation of Ximena, a Latinx woman, and her struggle as an undocumented person who takes up sanctuary in a church to avoid being arrested by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. This televisual representation of Ximena highlights the need to incorporate the complexity of undocumented people's experiences into mainstream narratives. As activist scholars, in this brief essay we support, critique, and contextualize representations of undocumented people and sanctuary as part of the work that needs to be done to help challenge dehumanizing representations, laws and policies, and actions.
