ABSTRACT In this article, we argue for an understanding of engaged social research as an inherently narrative activity that conceptualises both how domination is perpetuated, and the possible ways to transform it. In order to do so, we stage a diffractive encounter between two methodologies that have shaped our past practice: on the one hand, the Narrative Productions methodology (NPM), the focus of this Special Issue, on the other, Participatory Action-Research (PAR). We begin by introducing the Latin American PAR tradition and its relation to narrativity as well as NPM’s roots in the feminist epistemology of Donna Haraway. Later on, we review some of the ways these two methods can benefit from reading their insights from one another. Finally, we synthesise the relation of narrativity and social change. We draw on Karen Barad’s notion of ‘Onto-ethico-epistemology’and the concept of political ontologyto argue that, by engaging in creating the world distinctively, these two methods materialise diverging projects of social justice.

ABSTRACT This paper discusses the joint-knowledge production that emerged through a community-based research project conducted in partnership with a social service organization. Specifically, we present an unanticipated metaphor (‘Canada is clean’) that became evident through utilizing an art-based methodology. The methodology had five participants assemble photo-diaries over the span of two weeks. Participants took (unedited) photographs of themselves and their environments using their smartphone. The photo diaries were then presented to two focus groups: (1) a group of consumer-recipients of the social service organization and (2) a group of program workers. The focus groups were analyzed through Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis tailored for assessing groups. We address the meaning of the central metaphor, though place an emphasis on the milieu that promoted its co-construction and thereby upon the conditions that enabled arts-based research to succeed.

ABSTRACT In this special issue, we create space to discuss and extend on conceptualisation, theorisation, and practice of allyship in qualitative psychology research. Allyship can be defined broadly as a way of redressing power imbalances between privileged and marginalised groups and individuals and is thus strongly aligned with qualitative methods founded on social justice. The discipline of psychology, in contrast, has traditionally contributed to oppression of people considered not White, not heterosexual, not male, disabled, poor, not sane, and/or Indigenous. The contributions in this special issue consider the role of psychology in redressing this oppression. In this introduction to the special issue, we explore some of the common threads across these contributions, namely the ways in which power and control, relationships, and intersectionality and diversity relate to research involving allyship. Overall, the work presented in this special issue furthers knowledge and innovation in allyship and the particular place of allyship in qualitative research within psychology and beyond.

ABSTRACT Culturally-embedded and embodied understandings of interaction, transmitted intergenerationally, and often non-consciously through sensory and affective memory, are notoriously difficult to access. Such information is often contained in implicit memory and is not readily available for narrative explanation. Alternative methodologies that can access these models of meaning are required. While videos of mother-infant interaction have long been used for both assessment and clinical intervention, in this paper, the use of participant commentary during observation of interactional videos as a qualitative research method, alongside narrative interviews, is proposed. The utility of this dual method is demonstrated through its use in a study aimed at understanding local understandings of maternal sensitive responsiveness in a South African township setting. By analysing participant responses to video material alongside their answers to interview questions, this paper suggests that participant reflection on video material utilised alongside narrative interviewing allows for analysis and interpretation of shifting participant identifications and positions, capturing greater complexity in understandings of culturally-embedded parent-infant interaction.

Abstract Given the call for increased emphasis on multicultural and social justice orientations in the field of counselling psychology, this manuscript explores how the union of different knowledge traditions might offer further means of incorporating culturally sensitive and social justice perspectives into traditional knowledge discovery. We propose that afeminist standpoint theory (FST) epistemology may be a helpful guiding framework for a research method such as an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) that can potentially enrich the exploration of personal experiences and the systemic dynamics that influence them. This manuscript arose out growing awareness and understanding of the benefits and challenges faced when engaging in research that used a pluralistic approach. To illustrate one adaptive way of combining these approaches we present examples from a research study that engaged a FST epistemology with an IPA methodological approach. These examples will be used to support a discussion of the important philosophical tensions that exist between FST and IPA, and to examine the challenges and benefits that integration might bring to enhance a researcher’s ability to explore the complex nature of human experience and social relationships.

ABSTRACT Involving participants/intended audiences in discourse analysis may help to avoid overemphasising the structural effects of discourse and silencing participant voice. Yet, involving participants in complex analytic processes effectively can prove difficult. In this study, the authors undertook a Foucauldian discourse analysis of sexual consent material within eight (predominantly UK) wide-ranging, youth-focused campaigns to identify the discourses relevant to sexual consent and produce a collage for each discourse. Then, 43 young people from West Yorkshire, UK, helped to identify the underlying messages in the collages (i.e. the discourses), and consider who was constructed as powerful, and who benefited and ‘lost out’ from these messages. This paper explores the benefits and challenges of involving young people in a discourse analysis in this way, and concludes that, a ‘both/and’ approach should be employed to acknowledge both young people’s perspectives and the academic researcher’s desire to retain a critical stance toward problematic discourses.

ABSTRACT Debates regarding quality in qualitative research are longstanding. There are continued calls for additional quality indicators that account for the heterogeneity of qualitative methodologies. In this introduction to the special issue, we take up the idea that quality criteria are often specific to a given methodological approach. Thus, included within this special issue, and overviewed in this introductory paper, are seven articles that outline the quality criteria related to specific qualitative methodologies, including grounded theory, thematic analysis, narrative methodology, interpretative phenomenological analysis, video-reflexive ethnography, discursive psychology, and conversation analysis and interpersonal process recall.

ABSTRACT This book review essay of Ian Parker’s Psychology through Critical Auto-ethnography has three objectives. The first is to provide an assessment of Parker’s unique contribution to the field of Critical Psychology. Parker’s critique of the psy-sciences is shown to offer a key challenge not only to mainstream psychology but also to those who envision themselves working in the field of Critical Psychology: how not to relapse in the traps of mainstream psychology and psychologisation? The second objective is to scrutinize Parker’s idiosyncratic use of the methodology of auto-ethnography. Here it is argued, again, that Parker’s appropriation of this method not only is ideally positioned to question the problematic field of mainstream psychology, but also opens up a different perspective on subjectivity and sociality that should challenge Critical Psychology. The third objective is to apply these insights to the Covid crisis: if Parker enjoins us to step outside the psy-complex and “find many other ways to live together without it,” the entry of mainstream psychology into the Covid-debate, claiming expert knowledge on how we should live apart/together, should be confronted head-on. To achieve these three objectives, the author also uses a moderate dose of auto-ethnography.

ABSTRACT Following a report of a 15-fold increase in published qualitative studies catalogued in PsycNET between 1995 and 2016, researchers engaged in a closer examination of changes in published qualitative research. Four questions are addressed: (1) Can the reported 15-fold increase of published qualitative studies indexed in a psychology database be replicated using a similar database? (2) If the increase in qualitative articles is adapted from the raw number to the relative number of qualitative publications compared to non-qualitative (e.g., quantitative, review articles) publications, does the 15-fold rate of change hold, increase, or decrease? (3) Are there specific domains that have contributed disproportionately to the increase in qualitative articles? and (4) As the proliferation of published qualitative research is examined, what portion of qualitative work is published in moderate- to high-impact journals compared to low-quality or non-indexed journals? Each of these questions are systematically addressed using PsycINFO. Results suggest that while the 15-fold increase in raw numbers is replicable, the relative increase of qualitative articles is a more modest sixfold increase. Further, much of the increase in qualitative articles appears to stem from journals related to healthcare. Finally, results suggest that the increase in quantity may be associated with a slight decline of the quality of research being published.
