An Introduction: (Re)envisioning Chicana/Latina Feminist Methodologies

The articles in this special issue of JOLLAS center on critical methodologies in educational research. As Chicana/Latina scholars have reimagined pedagogical spaces, so too have they reinvented the methodologies needed for such rearticulations. Each of the authors in this special issue provides ways in which to navigate methodological landscapes and offers discussions on the critical conversations necessary to forge a space for Chicana/Latina feminist perspectives in qualitative research. In particular, the scholars focus on anticolonial conversations, critical ethnography, theories and methods of the flesh, critical reflexivity, and Chicana feminist film-making methodologies as well as urge us to consider the global North/South divide by decolonizing conocimiento and forming global alliances.
