Charting methodological imaginaries: Critical Race Feminista Methodologies in educational research

Abstract

This article serves as an introduction to the special issue, “Critical Race Feminista Methodologies in Educational Research.” We provide an overview of how we have come to understand Critical Race Feminista Methodology (CRFM) and outline several important points of consideration for those who seek to engage this approach. As co-editors we have curated this special issue to chart methodological imaginaries across generations that have come before us, and those that will follow after us. We offer our stories of coming to CRFM as co-editors, colleagues, and friends who have been collaborating, theorizing, co-authoring and dreaming together for two decades. We end with an overview of the articles included in this special issue by authors who are advancing the praxis of CRFM in educational research.
