-
Jim McKinley
Abstract
This commentary on Part 2 of Innovative Qualitative Methodologies in Multilingual Literacy Development Research: Amplifying Voices from Immigrant, Transnational, and Refugee Communities focuses upon some of the ways in which qualitative literacy researchers have begun to rethink the role of theory in their research methodologies. Insights from the chapters are presented in light of some of the author’s own work on innovating and theorizing methods and Applied Linguistics research, focusing on the affordances and challenges of qualitative methodological approaches and their contributions to a more equitable and ethical research landscape
