Vamos a caminar: Utilizing a Chicana/Latina Feminist Walking Plática Methodology to Honor the Brown Body and Facultad
International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), v36 n9 p1644-1658 2023
Following the tradition of Chicana/Latina feminist nuevas teorias and methodologies, I offer walking pláticas as a qualitative research methodology that honors the brown body and facultad to examine our relationship to the spaces we traverse, live within and mutually shape. Walking pláticas is a reclamation of research methodologies that dismantle the white colonial gaze through a recentering of the brown body as a critical corporeal, political, and geographic site of analysis. In this article, I propose to move beyond the understandings of space as the neutral and apolitical backdrop on which life occurs. The strengths of walking pláticas include the consideration of spatiality as key to exploring how people make sense of, are influenced by, and shape space--a great methodological tool for critical educational researchers seeking to understand the role of geography and the physical and social places and spaces on Communities of Color.
