[Linganth] part. obs. with groups

[Mary Bucholtz]

Jamaal Muwwakkil has an excellent forthcoming piece in Transforming Anthropology on being a Black progressive researcher doing an ethnography of the discourse of young white conservatives. The article discusses how he navigated the challenges of this complex situation. 

Best,

Mary

The scope of each essay was often broader than groups with abhorrent ideologies.  Then we were concerned with working in any setting outside  our own. But the discussions in those chapters will likely offer  useful advice regarding the queer researcher in the not-queer-friendly space   .

> Can anyone recommend readings dealing with participation observation among groups whose ideologies are abhorrent to the researcher? I have a queer student considering including a transphobic group in her analysis of discourses surrounding social justice (as a counter discourse of “anti-wokeness”). She is concerned about attending events in person or live online, how to represent herself to the group, not wanting to be perceived as supporting them, and just her own negative feelings having to listen to what they say. To be clear, she will also work with groups promoting social justice but she is trying to do a comparative study of discourses about social justice so she wants to include an opposing perspective.
