Redressing Inequities within Our Margin of Maneuverability: A Narrative Inquiry Study

Abstract

This extended example illustrates the ways an individual's margin of maneuverability affects and shapes their approach to redressing inequities. After explicating the relationship between inclusion and oppression, the authors use a case of unjust academic paper reviewing to demonstrate how they walked through the 4Rs: Recognize, Reveal, Reject Replace. This applied theory of inclusion can be deployed in a range of contexts, and its on-the-ground application depends on several elements, including the margin of maneuverability. Rather than report on study findings, as proposed, this paper uses the opportunity of injustice within the review process to directly apply the 4Rs.
