Ooh, and Saldana's "Blue-collar qualitative researcher" piece is a fun dunk on too fancy epistemologies!
Excerpt reading: "I used to think that the “intellectual elite” attack was the narrow-minded conservatives’ slam-dunk at things they didn’t understand. But after hearin’ some of them “intellectual elites” at research conferences, maybe they got a point. After all, I think that post-structuralists are the Republicans of qualitative inquiry—they’s firmly convinced that they’s always right and everybody else should think the same way. Fuck that. There’s been this talk in our field ’bout the “crisis of representation.” Well, lemme tell you: Some of us are the “crisis of representation” ’cause a coupla people out there are representin’ themselves as real elitist assholes."
