Description

Guest Ohio State Alum: Dr. D-L Stewart, Colorado State University

Engaging “Diversity” in Qualitative Research

In this talk, Dr. Stewart will discuss the ways that engineering diverse participant samples in normative qualitative research contains, protects, and prioritizes white supremacy. White supremacy in normative qualitative research treats “diverse” participants as fungible, has material effects, and enacts power over minoritized communities. I will also share 10 approaches that focus on anti-racism and anti-Blackness in participant recruitment and selection.

The purpose of the series put on by The Ohio State University is to engage Ohio State alums and general audiences in thinking about and reflecting on what it means to conduct educational research from a standpoint that honors Black lives in the research process, while also disrupting racism and white supremacy. Given the unprecedented moment we are all experiencing in our lifetime we are committed to shifting the landscape of qualitative research and using this research to shift our sociopolitical context toward racial equity and justice. Each Ohio State alum will engage in a discussion with Dr. Lori Patton Davis, Professor and Department Chair of Educational Studies, and Dr. Penny A. Pasque, Professor and Director of QualLab. This effort also aligns with the college’s Racial Equity and Justice Initiative led by Dean Don Pope-Davis.
