Abstract

In recent years, a growing interest in so-called ‘everyday’ inequalities is raising intriguing questions for qualitative research in psychology. How best might we canvass people's mundane experiences with inequalities given that these experiences are often normalized or entrenched to the extent that they disappear from view, or are otherwise hard to articulate in the course of a conventional qualitative research encounter? And, should we find ourselves as custodians of data that do pinpoint inequalities, what options and opportunities exist for reporting and sharing participants' narratives in challenging and transformative ways? In this article, we present a response to these questions. Moving against the attachment to standardisation that characterises much psychological inquiry, we outline a project where methodological flexibility and a focus on collaborative documentation helped us to surface rich experiential data on everyday ableism. By spending time with participants, and equipped with a toolbox of creative, collaborative and conventional methods, we built the relational foundations necessary for participants to show, tell and share their encounters with ableism with us. From here, we discuss how our experiences with creative and collaborative data collection emboldened us to experiment with a new (to us) way of sharing research findings: the comic. Outlining our research team's collaboration with illustrator Toby Morris, we show and tell the potential of illustrated narratives for sharing research on everyday inequalities – and challenging them.

“看起来这项研究产生了很多很棒的东西!”:关于研究、交流和挑战日常不平等的思考
近年来,人们对所谓的“日常”不平等的兴趣日益浓厚,这为心理学的定性研究提出了有趣的问题。考虑到这些经历通常被正常化或根深蒂固,以至于从视野中消失,或者在传统的定性研究遭遇过程中难以清晰表达,我们如何才能最好地用不平等来审视人们的世俗经历呢?而且,我们是否应该发现自己是数据的保管人,这些数据确实可以精确地指出不平等现象,以具有挑战性和变革性的方式报道和分享参与者的叙述,存在哪些选择和机会?在本文中,我们将对这些问题做出回应。为了反对以标准化为特征的心理调查,我们概述了一个项目,在这个项目中,方法的灵活性和对协作文档的关注帮助我们收集了关于日常残疾的丰富经验数据。通过花时间与参与者在一起,并配备了创造性、协作性和传统方法的工具箱,我们建立了必要的关系基础,使参与者能够向我们展示、讲述和分享他们与残疾人士的遭遇。从这里开始,我们讨论了我们在创造性和合作性数据收集方面的经验如何鼓励我们尝试一种(对我们来说)分享研究成果的新方式:漫画。我们概述了我们的研究团队与插画家托比·莫里斯(Toby Morris)的合作,展示并讲述了插图叙述在分享日常不平等研究方面的潜力,并对它们提出了挑战。
