SUMMARY:Transformative Methods in the Humanities and Social Sciences Reading Group: Refusal as Method
DESCRIPTION:The Transformative Methods in the Humanities and Social 
 Sciences Reading Group will be holding a meeting covering refusal-based 
 methodologies developed in anthropology. This two-hour conversation will 
 let participants engage with the scholarship that works to protect the 
 rights\, knowledges\, and material culture of research interlocutors. \n\n 
 \n\nParticipants are requested to read the following texts ahead of time. 
 They are available on Box. \n\n \n\nSelected Readings: \n\nMcGranahan\, 
 Carole. 2016. “Theorizing Refusal: An Introduction.” Cultural 
 Anthropology 31 (3): 319–25.\n\nSimpson\, Audra. 2007. “On Ethnographic 
 Refusal: Indigeneity\, ‘Voice’ and Colonial Citizenship.” Junctures 
 9: 67–80.\n\nTuck\, Eve\, and K. Wayne Yang. 2014. “Unbecoming Claims: 
 Pedagogies of Refusal in Qualitative Research.” Qualitative Inquiry 20 
 (6): 811–18.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Session’s Readings \n\n \n\nThese 
 readings theorize approach the theoretical and methodological possibilities 
 of refusal in academic research. Refusal is a methodology which responds to 
 the historical practices that have mined communities for academic 
 research\, often benefitting knowledge institutions and harming underserved 
 communities in the process. Refusal\, as it is drawn from anthropological 
 arguments\, provides an intentional\, but often unstated\, approach to 
 resistance in research that can be leveraged by both researchers and 
 research interlocutors.\n\n\n\n \n\nAbout the Transformative Methods 
 Reading Group \n\n \n\nThe Transformative Methods in the Humanities and 
 Social Sciences Reading Group is a bi-monthly conversation exploring new 
 and emerging methodologies that address epistemic gaps in qualitative and 
 quantitative research. \n\n \n\nThe goal of this group is to introduce 
 these methodologies to scholars from across the university. These 
 approaches illustrate a different vantage point that can help reveal unseen 
 problems in a variety of fields. The reading group will offer participants 
 an onramp to these methods\, enabling conversations across disciplines that 
 can strengthen research into the social determinants of health\, as well as 
 research into the experiences of health and wellness.  \n\n 
 \n\nCo-sponsored by the Emancipatory Sciences Lab\, the Department of 
 Humanities and Social Sciences\, and run as part of the Archives and 
 Special Collections’ Digital Health Humanities program. \n\n \n\n\n 
 \n\nUCSF welcomes everyone\, including people with disabilities to our 
 events and exhibits. To request a reasonable accommodation for this event\, 
 please contact Sean Purcell by emailing sean.purcell@ucsf.edu as soon as
