The method I am using for my research goes against traditional approaches in academia. Portraiture (Lawrence-Lightfoot, 1983) honors participants & attributes their contribution to the research by *including* their identity as opposed to traditional research that values anonymity. I believe strongly in this transformative level of partnership for the work I am doing. I am at the stage where the Institutional Review Board must approve my research before I can proceed. What should have been a one week process is going on four weeks with no substantive response to status requests. The world of academia, like so many of our institutions, was not built for those that do not conform to systems. While I wait for IRB approval, Nas & I created an introductory video to share with those interested in partnering in this research. After I defend & graduate, I plan to continue with the interviews on the podcast. For me, this is the beginning of a journey and I am so thankful for the relationships that make this all possible. #portraiture #lawrencelightfoot #crt #criticalracetheory #culturalcapital #communityculturalwealth #yosso #pedagogyoftheoppressed #liberatorylearning #qualitativeresearch #criminalinjusticesystem #reentry #formerlyincarcerated #massincarceration #jimcrow #blackcodes #peersupport #research #academia #aspirationalcapital #linguisticcapital #familialcapital #socialcapital #navigationalcapital #resistancecapital #tstg #theseedthatgrew https://www.instagram.com/p/CLm5Bf6pnAo/?igshid=1re4u4pd3p4zt
