- Title
Epistemological Groundings: Searchin’ for the Words.
- Authors
Callier, Durell M.
- Abstract
“Epistemological Groundings: Searchin’ for the Words” is an explorative journey toward mapping, understanding, and staking the authors ways of knowing. Taking up the charge, as Madison (2005), outlays to start where you are, and answer the deeply personal, spiritual, and political questions of (a) Who are you? and (b) What work do you need to do to feed your soul? The author through a series of short poems/thoughts seeks to make sense of the research process—theory, method/ology, and epistemology. Honoring his own personal history, knowledge, and the communities to which he ascribes and has an affinity for, “Epistemological Groundings” purports that not only should our research be grounded in a living practice but also this application should be socially just, life giving, and sustaining.
