Conversations with HSLS:09: Reflections on College-Going by Black Queer and Trans Scholars
This paper threads together quantitative data on Black QT students from the HSLS:09 data set, while connecting the authors' lived experiences about the college-going process. According to this data, Black QT high school students were heavily influenced by parents and peers and less influenced by school counselors and teachers regarding decisions about college and post-high school trajectories. In response, we engage in collaborative autoethnography (CAE) to center our narratives as Black QT people by threading our commonalities and differences to highlight what tensions and connections emerged from our experiences with the college-going process to add context to the aforementioned data.
Reckoning Through PhotovoiceA Collective Journey Toward (Endarkened) Transformative Scholarship
Reckoning Through PhotovoiceA Collective Journey Toward (Endarkened) Transformative Scholarship
In this collaborative essay we explore the individual and collective identities of seven Black* scholars through narrative reflection. Informed by endarkened feminist epistemology (EFE), and implemented through collaborative autoethnographic methods, we considered how our methodological engagement with photovoice shaped our identities as Black* scholars in relation to research. We found that our research experiences closely mirrored several tenets of EFE. More specifically, we identified elements of freedom, home, and community as recurring themes across our narratives. Further, we associated our identified themes with our underlying perceptions of (endarkened) transformative scholarship. Through this reflective journey, we highlight the profound connection between our methodological practices and the evolution of our scholarly identities, advocating for the continued integration of EFE in academic research to foster a deeper understanding of Black* scholars’ experiences.
