Starting from a critical, provocative, and progressive dialog articulated from different authors concerned about professional development in academia and qualitative and feminist research, while from the experience of field work with a group of academic informants participating in their search, co-performing their voices, in this paper, we reflect as academic women about our experience in the university, contributing to identify difficulties and gender barriers that require attention to achieve an ethical and healthy work environment guaranteeing equity and social justice.

20-odd years ago, while still in the deep dark of mourning my mother’s death and nursing the infant daughter born 7 months afterward, I wrote an email to my dearest friend, Tami Spry, that opened: “It is time. My time is upon me, I can feel it quickening, some performance of mine...” That prescient utterance would become the opening lines of Nursing Mother—my first solo show performed in the Kleinau Theatre in 1998—that braided stories of my mother’s death and Hannah’s birth in order to critique the medical technologies that supersede women’s bodily authority and autonomy. Nursing Mother emerged from me at an historic juncture in my life as a newly tenured, newly motherless, mother of 2, and at an historic moment in my discipline as Performance Studies was grappling with the emergent form of autoethnography and “the politics of solo performance” as in the millenial of TPQ where Nursing Mother would appear. Looking back with the hindsight-insight of 20 years, I can see that Nursing Mother became my touchstone as an autoethnographic performance poet through an esthetic that would guide my solo work for 2 decades: specifically, a sustained, highly cadenced poetic text, structured into titled cantos; interlaced with interlocking imagery— preferably alliterative—staged around a single chair on a bare stage, used in as many different ways as I could choreograph. Nursing Mother has continued to nurture me as I have performed excerpts from the show, and 10 years ago, shared it here at QI, as the keynote performance. But it is the nature of memory to seek out new gestational cycles, to push repeatedly against the muscle of articulation, that narrative cervix through which autoethnography brings experience to matter and to meaning.

The essay presents satiric accounts of the author’s encounters with Trump signage. It shows how political T-shirts, yard signs, and hats can become emotional triggers, often resulting problematic discourse. As a corrective, it calls upon several scholars who offer more productive ways of conversing with those who hold oppositional views. The essay then raises the question of whether the recommended strategies are effective with those who do not act in good faith. The essay ends with a postscript written 2 weeks after the 2020 election.

This collaborative autoethnography reflects on how each author experienced COVID-19 and associated precarity. We explore the ways in which this experience relates to our identities (both particular and plural), and our positionalities in terms of privilege and marginality. As a collective of diverse collaborators, we confront dialectical questions of self and society. Our contributions reveal our advantage/disadvantage, mobility/immobility, and the borders and boundedness before/during/after COVID-19. We show the power of curative writing in collaborative autoethnography and how the sharing of our experiences of vulnerability represents an invitation to human connection.

This article provides a renovation of Ernesto Laclau’s theories of political competition and collective identity-building for their better application at an empirical level. It does so not as a critique but as a way to make the Laclauian approach more operational and rigorous from a methodological perspective. The key goal is to make available a form of discourse analysis that centers on the political sphere and has two key characteristics. The first is an emphasis on the role of what Antonio Gramsci called “organic ideologies” in political identity-building. The second is the differentiation between a descriptive and a subjective level of analysis. The article intends to initiate a debate on the prospects of the Laclauian approach both with its advocates and its detractors.

In this paper, I offer a materialist perspective on data-becoming through a series of (non)living encasements. The living bodies included as examples here (Emmett Till, William T. Simpson, and LaVerne Turner) point to a historical legacy of violence and justice that continues, albeit differently, in different contexts, at different times, and from different social positions. These encasements show that any meanings imbued in data are dependent on when and where it arises, what is intra-acting with it, and in what context. Along these lines, I suggest data is always in-process of becoming something other at the level of material intra-action. This paper understands the movement of racialized, gendered, and sexualized bodies for justice and their coincidental, intra-active relations as a set of ongoing, changing conditions that re/de/construct (non)violent realities across time and space. I offer a way to reconsider data as always evolving and resistant to the confines of written research which may open up pathways for non-binary applications of historical fact, violent encounter, and political justice in critical qualitative research.

For many, the arts and sciences stand at opposite ends of an unbridgeable divide: the sciences, rigid, objective, systematic and authoritative; the arts, fluid, subjective, dynamic and capricious. Yet, there is a long history of productive dialogue and interconnection between these fields. Arts-based research represents a particularly fertile form of arts/science interaction. This paper interweaves poetry, theoretical discussion and empirical research to make the case for spoken word poetry as an arts-based method of inquiry that can provide a radically different way of doing, being and collaborating in and through research. With reference to the innovative method of ‘collaborative poetics’ and to the work of youth slam/spoken word educators, I argue that social scientists and spoken word practitioners can learn much from one another’s tools, techniques and ways of thinking, creating new forms of knowledge, redefining the audience/author relationship, and facilitating a ‘critical resilience’ which enables both individual fortitude in the face of adversity and a means through which to challenge the conditions that give rise to this adversity. The paper thus considers how spoken word as participatory poetic inquiry enables participants, researchers and poets to address the critical complexities and challenges of contemporary life.
