REVOLUCIÓN DE IDENTIDAD: AN AUTOETHNOGRAPHY ON SPANISH HERITAGE LANGUAGE AND IDENTITY A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of California State University, San Bernardino In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership by Cristina Alejandra Velázquez September 2019 REVOLUCIÓN DE IDENTIDAD: AN AUTOETHNOGRAPHY ON SPANISH HERITAGE LANGUAGE AND IDENTITY A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of California State University, San Bernardino by Cristina Alejandra Velázquez September 2019 Approved by: Dr. Kathryn Howard, Committee Chair Dr. John Winslade, Committee Member Dr. Bonnie Piller, Committee Member © 2019 Cristina Alejandra Velázquez ABSTRACT This autoethnography narrative examines my journey as a first-generation Mexican immigrant woman from birth, through completion of the doctorate degree at California State University, San Bernardino. The purpose in writing this autoethnography is to present a personalized account of my experiences growing up, in communicating between two languages, the structural and personal motivators behind maintaining a heritage language (Spanish), and to reflect, in my experience, how I have negotiated with multiple social identities, including ethnic, academic, and bilingual identities. In this self-study, I bring the reader closer to Mexican-American identity, language, and culture. Specifically, this qualitative analysis of Spanish Heritage Language (SHL) and identity will examine the following questions: a) How did I perceive and negotiate my bilingual identity?; b) What obstacles did I face when speaking English, Spanish or both?; c) What role does SHL have in identity development? I have chosen a qualitative approach, specifically an autoethnography, to answer these questions in order to add to existing literature rooted in the lived experience of Spanish heritage language maintenance. This approach allows me to be the researcher, subject, and narrator of the study, and allows me to reflect on my education as a bilingual and bicultural immigrant student. The autoethnographer’s subjective experiences (my stories) become the primary data and encompass looking at a culture through the lens of the researcher. While searching for themes written in vignettes, my journey is an account of two worlds, iii which coexist, in the infinite intricacy of language learning, speaking, thinking, and being. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I would like to thank my parents, Iselda Romero and Luis Velazquez, for their sacrifices so that I could have a better life here in the United States. You taught me to always try my best and to lead with a kind heart. Thank you to my sister, Janette Diaz Rendon and to Roberto for your unconditional love and support. To my brother, Luis may you too, have the courage to discover your best self. To my beautiful nieces, Cookie, China, Nanas, and Bella for reminding me to never forget to laugh and enjoy life. You all have given me the opportunity, confidence, love, and freedom to pursue my dreams. I hope I have made you proud. I would like to thank Dr. Howard for seeing me as diamond in the rough and taking a chance on me. You believed in me, guided me, and encouraged me throughout the process. I will forever cherish our talks over coffee and our talks over politics. Thank you Dr. Piller for your wonderful lessons and warm embrace. Lastly, to Dr. Winslade, thank you for lighting a fire in me with my educational endeavors. Your charisma and articulation will forever inspire me in academia. To Svetlana Lazarova, Trinidad Rios, Jazmin Rodriguez, Josie Pantaleon, uniquely special colleagues and friends. You all have shown me the importance and beauty of being bilingual and a lover of languages, especially within the world of academia and education. Our talks have given me confidence and taught me to be proud of where I come from and to be proud of where I am going. I hope to continue to inspire others the way you have inspired me. v Thank you to my road dogs Avi, Jesse, and Erica. I am forever grateful I decided to carpool with you three because you all gave me the perseverance and positivity I needed to finish the program. I will cherish the talks, the chisme, the advice, the jokes, and the love. You were more than classmates; you are my friends, my ears, my smile, and the fire I needed to finish. Thank you to my Cohort 7 (the lucky 7)—a diverse group of individuals making this world a better place. You give me so much hope. To my amazing GIRL boss crew Lacey, Debbie, Katie, Mel, Candie, Omoh, Tammy-- the most understanding and forgiving souls. You all look for the best in people and saw the best in me.

  • Applying Social Constructionist Epistemology to Research In
    Losantos, Montoya, Exeni, Santa Cruz & Loots Applying Social Constructionist Epistemology to Research in Psychology Marcela Losantos, Tatiana Montoya, Scherezada Exeni La Paz, Bolivia & Brussels, Belgium Mariana Santa Cruz Santa Cruz, Bolivia & Brussels, Belgium Gerrit Loots Brussels, Belgium Abstract This contribution presents three methods for collecting information on research in psychology, inspired by the premises of social constructionism. First, we propose that the position of not knowing allows formulating research questions that balanced the power relationship among the researcher and child participants living on the streets. Then, we present a new methodology of joint construction of life stories with adolescents in conflict with the law, who are deprived from freedom. Finally, we exhibit how social constructionism led to the recognition of multiple voices in the study of social support with migrant women in Bolivia. Keywords: research in psychology, social constructionism, methodology, position of not knowing, joint construction of stories, vulnerable population. Introduction This article is the result of a seminar on social constructionist epistemology, conducted as part of our doctoral training. As a product of this seminar, our investigations were profoundly transformed, allowing us to find new directions and generate new findings. In this sense, we present three methods of data collection in the field of psychology, with populations in situations of social vulnerability. These methodologies were motivated by the principles of social constructionism. We hope this contribution will inspire other doctoral students who are beginning the journey. First, we present a theoretical review of the main ideas of this epistemology, applied to research. Then, we describe and explain the basic premises of the social constructionism research in the field of psychology and finally we present three types of data collection methodologies.

  • Using Autoethnography to Explore and Critically Reflect Upon Changing Identity
    Using autoethnography to explore and critically reflect upon changing identity annmarie judge preston Abstract Reflexivity is a professional requirement of the Adult Guidance Counsellor, with reflex- ive practice paramount to our work. From 2008 to 2010 I trained as an Adult Guidance Counsellor while working with an unemployed adult client group. During this time, I also journeyed through my first pregnancy. Towards the end of my training, I experi- enced a crisis, which led to a process of reflection and transformative learning. In this paper, I share personal writings from my learning journey, using autoethnography as a vehicle for reflexivity. Authoethnography is a research method that allows the author to write in a highly personalised style, drawing on his or her own experience to extend understanding about a social phenomenon. My reflections show a subjective change over time to the understanding of my changing self, and highlight the role of autoeth- nography as a reflexive tool for the Guidance Counsellors’ Practice. Introduction We must write about what we really prefer not to write about. It is not about pre- senting ourselves in a good light – in charge, competent, controlled, organised and so on, or how we might like to be seen. Rather it is about writing rich, full accounts that include the messy stuff – the self-doubts, the mistakes, the embar- rassments, the inconsistencies, the projections and that which may be distaste- ful. It is about writing all of it.

  • Autoethnography: a Potential Method for Sikh Theory to Praxis Research
    religions Article Autoethnography: A Potential Method for Sikh Theory to Praxis Research Narinder Kaur-Bring Centre for Sikh and Panjabi Studies, University of Wolverhampton, Wolverhampton WV1 1LY, UK; [email protected] Received: 16 November 2020; Accepted: 16 December 2020; Published: 19 December 2020 Abstract: The application of autoethnographic research as an investigative methodology in Sikh studies may appear relatively novel. Yet the systematic analysis in autoethnography of a person’s experience through reflexivity and connecting the personal story to the social, cultural, and political life has synergy with the Sikh sense-making process. Deliberation (vichhar) of an individual’s experience through the embodied wisdom of the Guru¯ (gurmat) connecting the lived experience to a greater knowing and awareness of the self is an established practice in Sikhi. This article explores autoethnography as a potential research method to give an academic voice to and capture the depth of the lived experiences of Sikhs: first, by articulating the main spaces of synergy of autoethnography with gurmat vichhar; second, discussing common themes such as inclusivity of disregarded voices, accessibility to knowledge creation, relational responsibility, and integrity in storytelling common to both autoethnography and gurmat vichhar. In conclusion, the autoethnographic approach has the means to illuminate nuances in understanding Sikhi that is transformative and familiar to the ancestral process of how Sikhs have made sense of themselves and the world around them. Keywords: Sikh; autoethnography; lived experience; reflexivity; gurmat; diaspora; pandemic 1. Introduction This essay aimed to evaluate the inherent subjective nature and flexibility of autoethnography as a potential methodology in Sikh Studies, in particular, in researching the lived experiences of Sikhs across the globe.

  • Apparently Being a Self-Obsessed C**T Is Now Academically Lauded": Experiencing Twitter Trolling of Autoethnographers
    Volume 18, No. 3, Art. 16 September 2017 "Apparently Being a Self-Obsessed C**t Is Now Academically Lauded": Experiencing Twitter Trolling of Autoethnographers Elaine Campbell Key words: Abstract: Online hostility and mockery, often known as "trolling," is a phenomenon almost as old as autoethnography; the internet itself. Nevertheless, the rise in trolling aimed at researchers using non-traditional, trolling; social creative methodologies, such as autoethnography, remains severely under-explored. This essay media seeks to fill the gap in the literature and make a contribution to the discourse on autoethnographic research. Writing autoethnographically, I share my experience of discovering vile, misogynist, and cruel trolling of autoethnographers and their work on the social media platform Twitter. I reflect on the online hatred I received when I raised the issue publically. Many of the messages I received focused on my perceived inability to cope with opinions other than my own. Therefore, I finish by offering a brief response to critiques of autoethnography; albeit criticism that comes from researchers who raise their concerns in a constructive and scholarly manner. Above all, the purpose of this essay is to bring trolling of autoethnographers to the fore and encourage others to speak about their experiences. If we do not write about trolling, then it—and our story—remains hidden. Table of Contents 1. Prologue 2. Hello Twitter 3. Trolling 4. Back to Twitter 5. Online Misogyny 6.

  • The Use of Autoethnography in Educational Research: Locating Who We Are in What We Do
    Canadian Journal for New Scholars in Education/ Volume 3, Issue 1 Revue canadienne des jeunes chercheures et chercheurs en éducation June 2010 The Use of Autoethnography in Educational Research: Locating Who We Are in What We Do Lisa J. Starr University of Victoria [email protected] Abstract Autoethnography is a research method that engages the individual in cultural analysis and interpretation (Chang, 2008). The resultant self-analysis can have purposeful implications for the preparation of teachers and schools leaders. The process of self-exploration and interrogation aids individuals in locating themselves within their own history and culture allowing them to broaden their understanding of their own values in relation to others. In this paper, the methodological implications of autoethnography as well as its value as a research method is discussed in the context of understanding the self/other dialectic. Further, the relationship between autoethnography and the philosophical and practical implications relating to identity within education is examined. Introduction The modern era of public schooling has emphasized a gridlock of planning, design, implementation, and evaluation in education (Eisner, 2004); leaving much said about the structure of schooling and less about the agentic roles within it. In Canada, birth patterns and immigration have changed the face of the student population; as a result, complex diversity has become a cornerstone of public education (Ryan, Pollack, & Antonelli, 2009). Teachers, administrators, and school personnel face unprecedented socio-economic, religious, and ethnic heterogeneity in the student population. However, those who guide students have yet to occupy a similar space; that is, diversity amongst teachers is significantly underrepresented in school settings (Ryan et al., 2009).
