O knihe

Researcher Race: Social Constructions in the Research Process is designed to expose the role of
researcher race in social science research. This book highlights the interaction of researcher and
participant race in shaping data that is collected. Researcher Race makes the researcher's position
visible via interview excerpts from a qualitative study in order to deconstruct researcher race
effects in research. The book includes passages from a qualitative research study with a sample
of 20 Black-identified and 20 White-identified participants, as well as a Black researcher and a
White researcher. Selections of data from across different researcher-participant racial dyads
illustrate how issues of researcher race can arise in research settings.
Researcher Race presents the history of racial bias and maltreatment in research. A review of
cultural competency theory as it pertains to research is discussed. An overview of narrative
research methodology that is used in this study is also provided. Chapters focused on the
research data include an exploration of participants' preferences for researcher race; the significance
of off-script researcher comments during an interview; and the narratives of traumatic racism among Black and White participants.
In the concluding chapter, the book expands conversations about researcher race to consider intersecting aspects of identity in
researcher-participant interactions, as well as directions for future research and training.
This book can serve as a guide for researchers, as well as students of research, culture, and diversity. Researcher Race: Social Constructions
in the Research Process is a valuable tool for researchers interested in expanding awareness of race, oppression, and methodology.
