Abstract

Departing from the methodological story of my doctoral research and deploying feminist, postcolonial, and decolonial epistemologies, this article explores the double connotation of the phrase ‘challenging methodologies’. On the one hand, the article reviews the process of my doctoral research, the challenges I faced, and how these oriented my methodological decisions. On the other hand, it examines the three methodologies I chose – grounded theory, online research, and narrative inquiry – to understand how they originated to challenge unjust canonical research processes that undermine different ways of generating knowledge and reinforce epistemic silencing. By exploring ‘challenging methodologies’, the article invites (novice) researchers to contest unjust research processes and embark on their own creative, albeit challenging, methodological paths.

挑战方法论:部署解放认识论解锁创造性的研究实践

本文从我博士研究的方法论故事出发，运用女权主义、后殖民主义和非殖民化的认识论，探讨了“具有挑战性的方法论”这一短语的双重内涵。一方面，文章回顾了我的博士研究过程，我面临的挑战，以及这些挑战如何引导我的方法论决策。另一方面，它考察了我选择的三种方法——基础理论、在线研究和叙事探究——以了解它们是如何起源的，以挑战不公正的规范研究过程，这些过程破坏了产生知识的不同方式，并加强了认识沉默。通过探索“具有挑战性的方法论”，这篇文章邀请（新手）研究人员对不公正的研究过程提出质疑，并走上自己创造性的、尽管具有挑战的方法论道路。
