On Restorative Validity: Reorienting Inquiry Toward Peace, Justice, And Healing, Giovanni P. Dazzo

This work begins with a simple premise: (re)imagining a healing and restorative space for inquiry. Drawing on the work of John H.

Informing Without Conforming: Applying Two Frameworks To Enrich Autoethnography, Annmarie Dull Nov 2021

In this article, I illustrate how using these frameworks enhanced the rigor and reflexivity of my autoethnographic research.
