Ein Kapitel aus dem Buch Innovative Qualitative Methodologies in Multilingual Literacy Development Research

Abstract

In our ethnographic research with mixed-status transborder families who had relocated from the U.S. to parents’ hometowns in México, we have sought to better understand what we term transborder literacies of (in)visibility, or diasporic people’s innovative interactions around texts that prepare them to move across incompatible, racializing mononational institutions divided by borders (Gallo & Adams Corral, 2023). In this chapter we adopt a transborder literacies of (in)visibility framework to trouble and unpack our research methodologies. We turn this lens to our research practices to better understand instances where transborder families’ actions challenged us as researchers to think through the colonial roots of our own literacies and thinking.
