On Why Race Still Matters: Ontological Commitments and Researching Without Numbers
Lisa R. Merriweather
Race and racism will continue to be topics investigated by qualitative research but uncritically explored as factors impacting the inquiry process in and of itself resulting in both being largely invisible and normalized. Critical discussions of race and racism at the interstice of the inquiry process are largely absent but race still matters because we exist in an environment rife with anti-Black racism and White privilege and as human beings we maintain ontological commitments that influence what we study and how. This session will explore the notion of ontological commitments, what they are, why we need to be attentive to them when researching without numbers.
