Description
Summary:This how-to guide offers new and seasoned researchers alike an introduction to cultivating anti-oppressive educational and social science research skills through a focused engagement with language and its use in our own and others' research. By illustrating the impact of how we use language in all aspects of the research process-from research questions to reporting-we build critical awareness of how language is implicated in the reproduction of power, identities, and differences in and through research. We define the concepts of oppression and anti-oppression and draw on applied examples and reflective prompting questions to practice analyzing language use through an anti-oppressive frame. More specifically, this guide provides three anti-oppressive literacy strategies of deconstructing, shifting, and reframing language and encourages more intentional use of anti-oppressive language as part of committing to broader equitable change in and through research.
