This course explores how social research may be engaged when issues of inequity and marginalization are embedded in the research content and processes. We will examine scholarship that looks at the (existing and possible) power relations involved in the production of knowledge as well as the tensions and possibilities for the conduct of research as a mechanism of social change. Students will explore their epistemological assumptions and various tools of inquiry and discovery to explore transformative approaches to scholarship and creative work. Multiple critical approaches to inquiry including auto-ethnography and ethnography, feminist, queer, and Indigenous research methods, participatory action research, critical quantitative analysis, and more will be examined.
