“…The method used was duoethnography, a participatory research methodology that is designed to study a certain phenomenon through in-depth conversations with another researcher (Sawyer and Norris 2013). In reflecting on our teaching and researching in post-class recorded conversations, we aimed to develop a shared meaning making process that not only involved the English language learning needs of the women but also the process through which we came to understand the learning that was taking place in class and the power relations that were part of it (see Najar and Choi forthcoming).…”

Immigrant and Refugee Women’s Resourcefulness in English Language Classrooms: Emerging possibilities through plurilingualism

Reports on refugee and migrant women in Australia show these women have low literacy in their first language, limited English language abilities, and minimal formal schooling. With major funding cuts to the adult migrant education sector and persistent public ‘deficit views’ of immigrant and refugee’s levels of literacy, approaches to teaching and learning in this sector require flexible views of language that embrace plurilingualism as a valuable resource within and outside of the socially-orientated ESL classroom. In this article, we present and discuss our findings from a study in which we co-taught English to immigrant and refugee women in a housing estate in Melbourne, Australia, and investigated the effects of a plurilingual view on the women’s English language learning experience and communication skills. Drawing on recorded classroom dialogues, observation notes, and worksheets produced by the women, we demonstrate the extraordinary plurilingual resourcefulness immigrant and refugee women bring to the challenge of learning to communicate in English. Our aim is not to promote a particular teaching approach, but to suggest the value of ongoing critical reflection on the underpinning ideas of plurilingualism for immigrant and refugee learner groups such as those we experienced in our own classroom interactions.

“…The critical difference is the engagement of more than one researcher in the challenging process of exploring meaning of a phenomenon and how it changes over time through juxtaposition of the researchers' narratives (Breault, 2016). The intention of duoethnography is not to develop two narratives of similar experience, the purpose is to critically explore the tensions between the writers who have experienced a particular phenomena to arrive at multiple understandings (Grant & Radcliffe, 2015;Sawyer & Norris, 2015).…”

“…Duoethnography, a method created by Sawyer and Norris (2015), is a novel approach that allows two or more individuals to explore the meaning they make of common experiences of phenomenon. Application of this method exposes one's history as a collection of learning experiences, allowing for critical examination of how the beliefs that influence their actions were acquired, and the meanings they give to them (Norris et al, 2012).…”

What is Mental Health Nursing Anyway? Advantages and Issues of Utilizing Duoethnography to Understand Mental Health Nursing

In recent decades scholars have begun to question the value of mental health nursing. The term has lost both conceptual and explanatory power in the modern globalized world in which multidisciplinary teams now carry out many functions once unique to the specialization, yet its distinction persists. The purpose of this paper is to explore an emerging research methodology, duoethnography, as an avenue to revive mental health nursing, by subverting the dominant post-positivist, scientifically driven, medically framed, evidence-based practice perspective, to gain greater understanding of the nuances of mental health nursing practice. Duoethnography offers promise in challenging nursing research norms embedded in an empirically based medical model, however the newness of the method poses potential methodological issues. Duoethnography is a methodology well-suited to explore the question of whether mental health nursing is an outmoded tradition too deeply entrenched in the institutional past, or an emerging profession leading mental health care.

“…The fact that we, the authors of the paper, take personal walking experiences and close scrutiny of our collaborative walking practices as a starting point means that our research has duoand autoethnographic/biographical and confessional sensibilities (Ellis, Adams, & Bochner, 2010;Sawyer & Norris, 2012;Van Maanen, 2011). The vignettes emerge from the first two authors' (Parisa and Mads) ongoing casual interest in walking, an interest that increasingly became a reflective practice as the project went along.…”

“…Taking a cue from duo-ethnographic approaches (Sawyer & Norris, 2012), our approach emphasized the role of dialogue in surfacing and subsequently challenging and reflecting on our individual autobiographies and experiences as walkers. Rather than examining practices and recounting them in a seemingly objective fashion, our dialogical and first-person and biographical voicing intends to express some of the richness and complexities of walking experiences from within the felt practice.…”

Human Technology is an interdisciplinary, scholarly journal publishing innovative, peer-reviewed articles exploring the issues and challenges within human-technology interaction and the human role in all areas of our ICT-infused societies.Human Technology, published by the Agora Center, University of Jyväskylä, is distributed online without a charge. HUMAN-TECHNOLOGY CHOREOGRAPHIES: BODY, MOVEMENT, AND SPACE CHOREOGRAPHIES: AN EMERGING PERSPECTIVE FOR INTERACTION DESIGNIn interaction design and related disciplines, the focus of research tends toward technological objects rather than the movements relating to interacting with the objects. Even when movements are considered, the emphasis is placed on their instrumental value, that is, how movements have direct effect on the functions of technology. However, the emphasis of this thematic issue of Human Technology rests upon the design and use of technological objects. In other words, we, as editors of this special issue, were looking for submissions that emphasized intentional human movement in the physical and social lifeworld in which humans encounter technological and virtual artifacts. The term choreography here refers to meaningful continuums of movement that humans, as individuals or as groups, experience during interaction with technology (see also, e.g., Loke & Reinhardt, 2012;Parviainen, Tuuri, & Pirhonen, 2013; Parviainen, Tuuri, Pirhonen, Turunen, & Keskinen, 2013 Pirhonen, Tuuri, & Erkut 2 enable, limit, or control human movements and other behavior. Human-technology choreographies can involve anything from subtle finger movements to the movement of crowds in public spaces. A choreographic orientation, therefore, brings forth and makes explicit the opportunities and options that interaction designers have available for defining movements, movement qualities, and choreographies required when interfacing with the various devices so prevalent in contemporary living. Human movement is never a mere structure that could be handled without also affecting the inherent meanings it embodies.When we initiated this thematic issue, we sought contributions that challenge current thinking on and critically acknowledge the role of bodily movement as a basic element in a profound understanding of relationships between humans and technology. In the call for papers, we proposed choreography as a key concept through which the movement-centered phenomena present in interaction with technology could be better acknowledged, reflected on, and understood. We hoped the submissions would represent varying orientations on the subject, for example, interaction design, product design, architecture, phenomenology, or embodied cognition, as well as more broad cultural, societal, artistic, educational, or philosophical accounts. Reports on empirical studies as well as movement-centered reinterpretations of prior research and theories were explicitly welcomed.By the time the deadline for submissions passed, more than 20 interesting research reports were submitted for publication consi...
