Various terns have been used to describe the process of getting a particular viewpoint accepted as the \\'right" way to see a situation. A term often used in the politica. world is "spin", a negative term that describes putting the best face on facts in order to reach a predetermined outcome. Another less- loaded term, for the same process is "framing"

A Frame is psychological device that offers a perspective and manipulates salience in order to influence subsequent judgement" (Hoefer, 2012)Chapter 6. Page 1)

“you can tell they are sisters: one twines easily around the other in relaxed embrace while the sweet baby sister lolls at their feet, close, but not too close – cooperating, not competing. Seems to me i've seen this before in human families, in the interplay of sisters. After all, there are three girls in my family. The firstborn girl knows that she is clearly in charge; tall and direct, upright and efficient, she creates the template for everyone else to follow. That’s the corn sister” (Kimmerer, R. W. (2013)

There are mountains in Alberta named the three sisters that I have enjoyed visiting often while living in Alberta. I have always felt a connection to this mountain due to the fact they remind me of my sisters bond we have. this photo is of myself and both sisters tattoos we got to celebrate our bond to one another.

"Those fields of my childhood answered showered us with strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, hickey nuts in the fall, bouquets of wildflowers brought to my mom, and family walks on Sunday afternoon. They were our playground, retreat, wildlife santuary, ecology classroom, and the place where we learned to shoot tin cans off the stone wall. All for free. Or so i thought." (Kimmerer, R. W (2013)

"There are many other ways to use the written word in advocacy. Foremost among these are sending letters to the editor, writing editorials, and collecting signatures on a petition. None of these tasks is particularly difficult to do but can require time and patience." (Hoefer., Chapter 7. Page 149(2012)

I participated in "encounters with Canada" with 5 classmates from my junior high school and spent a week in Ottawa. I felt strong, powerful, smart, capable, confident, to name a few. I think about the difference in my confidence from 2009 to 2024. I have grown so much, This girl in the photo would never say something to someone on the train that was making me uncomfortable.

“There are a number of factors influencing reevaluation that has led to the development of CDS. First, the social model of disability argued for a conceptual distinction between ‘impairment’ as a functional limitation and ‘disability’ as a socially generated system of discrimination. This binary way of thinking about disability has undergone a number of critiques from feminists, cultural studies scholars and postmodernists, which has led to tensions and splits within the disability studies community.” (Meekosha, H., & Shuttleworth, R.

“Survey research evolved as a research methodology during the 20^th century. During World War II, for example, US surveys examined issues central to the war effort, such as the morale of soldiers, production capacity for weapons and the effectiveness of strategies. Through these studies, survey researchers refined and developed their techniques of large-scale assessments, enabling the emergence of large social research organisations in American universities after the war.” (J, W, Creswell., M, Hirose., (2019) Mixed methods and survey research in family medicine and community health)

“Our body has the experience of the world through its sensory-motor operations without the need for conscious control unless some event triggers our attention, bringing our bodily experience to the forefront to a level of reflective experience. Therefore, the experiential flow unfolds through recursive cycles of pre-reflective to reflective, and pre-reflective awareness again with the development of narratives according to those cycles of experiences that in turn constitute our sense of selves.” (Gaete, M.

“Some earlier accounts of how and why individuals behave as they do were based on ideas which often began with a creation story to explain the presence of people in their specific environment and on understandings of human behavior as being connected to some form of external force, such as spiritually powerful beings, ‘gods’ or sacred objects.” (Smith, L.T.

“Social science research is based upon ideas, beliefs and theories about the social world. While it is acknowledged that people always live in some form of social organization (e.g. a family unit, an efficient hunting and gathering unit, a pastoral unit, and increasingly large and more effective and sophisticated variations of those basic units), Western forms of research also draw on cultural ideas about the human self and the relationship between the individual and the groups to which he or she may belong. ” (Smith, L.T.

“My father was a great storyteller, but I was unable to think about the meaning of his stories until I was an adult; then I began to understand that his stories were about life learning. He used metaphors where meanings were not immediately apparent to me. For example, he used to talk about a bundle of chopsticks that could not be broken if they were held together. This story was about strength in numbers and unity. The chopstick is thin, often made of bamboo, and fragile. This type of metaphor is used to shape values and cultural learnings in familiar places, everyday discourse, at home, and in the community.” (page 2) (Chan, A. S. (2021).

“Moreover, the storytelling process can be a way of reclaiming identity and the story, rather than being defined and storied by hegemonic forces. Colonialism dispossessed the Indigenous peoples of their culture and disconnected them from the ecologies: land, language, and community (Alfred, 2009). The result was social and political alienation and turmoil. Therefore, storytelling is part of healing and a means for renewed engagement with ones own roots.” (Page 4) (Chan, A. S. (2021).

“When I started this journey, I thought that I was not a natural storyteller, and yet I was surrounded by stories from my family. The process of storytelling was a path of discovery and learning activated during my doctoral studies, when I was asked: “what was the journey that brought you here?” In order to articulate the story, I had to trust that I could find the worlds, and work with the knowledge that storytelling already had a place in my history. In this process, I found that sense of the story through the support of my family, mentors, and colleagues. This connection is about the relationship of past, present, and future.” (page 3) (Chan, A.

“Another decision revolves around the ‘level’ at which themes are to be identified: at a semantic of explicit level, or at a latent or interpretative level (Boyatzis, 1998). A thematic analysis typically focuses exclusively or primarily on one level. With a semantic approach, the themes are identified within the explicit or surface meanings of the data, and the analyst is not looking for anything beyond what a participant has said or what has been written.” (Braun, V., & Clarke, V. (2006). Using thematic analysis in psychology. Qualitative research in psychology, 3(2), 77-101.)

“Given the advantages of the flexibility of thematic analysis. It is important that we are clear that we are not trying to limit this flexibility. However, an absence of clear and concise guidelines around thematic analysis means that the ‘anything goes’ critique of qualitative research (Antaki et al.,2002) may well apply in some instances.” (Braun, V., & Clarke, V. (2006). Using thematic analysis in psychology. Qualitative research in psychology, 3(2), 77-101.)

“Qualitative approaches are incredibly diverse, complex and nuanced (Holloway and Todres, 2003), and thematic analysis should be seen as a foundational method for qualitative analysis. It is the first qualitative method of analysis that researchers should learn, as it provides core skills that will be useful for conducting many other forms of qualitative analysis.” (Braun, V., & Clarke, V. (2006). Using thematic analysis in psychology. Qualitative research in psychology, 3(2), 77-101.)

“A research problem is an issue of concern that needs to be addressed (e.w, the issue of racial discrimination). The problems come from voids, conflicts in research results, and topics neglected in the literature. It also can arise from the needs to emphasize the voice of marginalized participants and real-life problems found in the workplace, the home, the community” (Creswell, J. W., & Crewell, J. D (2023)

“Octopuses are highly attentive creatures, using their sensory capacities in deep attunement to their surrounds, while concentrating deeply on particular phenomena. Female octopuses caress their eggs with exquisite diligence, using their suckers “and blowing water through them with their syphons”. “What is most notable and impressive are octopuses’ skilled abilities to change their color, posture, and shape. Shapes and colors are played out across the whole body. Octopuses are extremely sensitive and can speedily change to become part of their surroundings – as Montgomery observes, they “can change color, pattern, and texture in seven tenths a second” from being red(excited), white(calm, dreaming) and bumpy, to grey and smooth, to looking like a rock or seaweed, all in relation to – intra-acting with – whatever the environment happens to be.” (Reconfiguring Social work ethics, Bozalek & Holscher, Page 12)

"Our social context informed and supported the project’s choice to use cellphilm methods with our target population. Tinder, Hinge, and Bumble are all (currently) popular dating applications that people of all ages and sexual orientations download onto their phones and use to meet potential partners. There are also several websites, like Seeking Arrangements, that cater exclusively to individuals interested in forming transactional relationships. Visual self-representation are typically the first line of connection with a potential partner on any of these dating sites or applications. Clients are encouraged to regularly post selfies, short videos, a profile picture, and link to other visual based social media accounts (e.g. Instagram) to present themselves desirably. Often uses are required to physically tap to move beyond image-based photos and videos to access written information about an individual. The pervasiveness of these applications in young people’s lives led us to assume (correctly) that participants came to the study with a basic understanding of media literacy and how to use their cellphones to represent a particular image of themselves, especially as it relates to dating and sex."(page 5) (Quilted cellphim method: A participatory visual health research method for working with marginalized and stigmatized communities.

"The quilted Cellphilm Method was developed to attend to the pervasive marginalization and stigmatization that young people who trade sex experience. A key principle informing adaptations is that all individuals have the right and capacity, regardless of age or experience, to choose the extent and means of their participation in the visual research process. We use the metaphor of patchwork quilting – the process of using pieces of fabric to construct a design that can then be sewn together into a larger pattern – to help describe how this principle was enacted when working with participants."

"Transactional sex an offer a range of benefits to young women, including facilitating access to necessities or luxury good while allowing some control over the rates, timing, and conditions of exchange. Nevertheless, there is a concomitant risk of violence and coercion from partners/clients. The stigma surrounding consenting exchanges of sex for money or commodities is pervasive and ‘intersects with other stigmatizing statuses’, such as race, sexuality, gender, class and age. This context of stigma and its potential negative impact on young women’s health and wellbeing motivated the celling sex project to explore how young women who trade sex perceived their trading experiences and the possibilities for harm reduction."

“While the benefits of photovoice have contributed to its increased use by qualitative researchers working in partnership with community groups, this methodology also presents challenges for the ethical and rigorous conduct of applied research. There is an inherent assumption with photovoice that its results will ultimately stimulate change by influencing decisions and policies at the community level. Yet, this can only occur if the project is backed by the political desire to change within the community. Lack of relationship building prior to beginning the photovoice process can create ethical dilemmas about raising awareness and expectation among participants and other community partners, while maintaining the status quo (i.e., no viable opportunity for community action or change” (Nykiforuk, C.

“Let me begin by saying that I came to theory because I was hurting – the pain within me was so intense that I could not go on living I came to Theory desperate, wanting to comprehend – to grasp what was happening around and within me. Most importantly, I wanted to make the hurt go away. I saw in theory then a location for healing.” (Hooks, B (1991)

“The list of names that opens this essay, each circulated with the demand to #sayhername, refuses several commonsense binaries that subtend liberal politics: state vs. interpersonal violence; trans vs. non trans women; armed vs innocent victims. Rem’mie Fells was murdered and dismembered by a boy I grew up with blocks from my adolescent stomping grounds- her sacred, gender defiant body torn asunder by the lethal force of trans-antagonism and misogyny.” (Shange, S (2022)

“#SayHerName refuses the lie that these Black women’s deaths lie outside the realm of politics. From vigils to protests to literal Twitter threads, the hashtag stitches together a Black feminist resistance to patriarchal violence that weaves through the Combahee River Collective organizing against murders in Boston in the 1970s and black women organizing against the Grim Sleeper serial killer in los angeles a decade later.” (Shange, S (2022)

The tall girl guarding me, was murdered our grade 10 year. she played basketball with me from grade 4-grade 10. whenever I learn about black lives matter, black women being murdered, or anything regarding murdered women, I think of my friend Brittany who was taken too soon. (personal photo, 2008)

“My intention has always been to leave good footprints and landmarks so that those coming behind me would have a softer trail to travel while employing, journeying, articulating and affirming Indigenous methodologies in how we come to know” (p. 127). (Absolon, K. E. (2022))

i took this photo in Hanoi, Vietnam in 2019 while traveling with my husband. "Leaving footprints" reminded me of traveling through different cultures. Having respect for differences, open minded for lessons and to be kind are a few things i try to remember when in uncomfortable situations.

"Within the roots, the reader is encouraged to prioritize Indigenous knowledge in the re-search. Within the flower's centre, the reader is reminded to know your location on the re-search journey. Within the leaves, the reader learns to travel journeys that are emergent and transformative. Within the stem, the reader is challenged to confront colonial history and to unpack its impacts. Within the petals, Absolon suggests that researchers use culturally relative methods. " (Absolon, K. E. (2022)

“Prior to the inception of the formal field of Fat Studies, Fat activists were extensively writing about the need for Fat liberation. Working towards Fat liberation centers on the dismantling of structures and systems that have been built by our worlds to exclude and harm Fat people.” (Haney, C. A., & Walsh, C. A. (2023)

“Fat studies is also an interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary field that is in close relationship to other fields such as Mad Studies, Aging Studies, Disability Studies, Deaf studies, Queer studies, and Feminist and Gender Studies and shares with these fields the critical aim for liberation. At the site of Fat Studies is Fat Liberation, setting it apart from other critical disciplines that explore the body such as Critical Obesity Studies or Weight Science.” (Haney, C. A., & Walsh, C. A.

“Beginning in the 1970’s, many Fat activists and scholars were writing about Fat experiences, Fat liberation, Fat stigma, with the goal of disrupting many of the common beliefs held to be true within obesity discourse. For example, Fat activists and scholars create stories and art in various forms that imagines, speculates, and dreams about how to change our social worlds to value Fat liberate, embodiment, and knowing.” (Haney, C. A., & Walsh, C. A. (2023)

“long term commitment and community driven policy change can enhance trust and accountability with communities of color, an essential aspect of antiracist practices. Universities and other research institutions that are committed to antiracist practices need to build in measures of accountability to communities affected by racism and racial health inequalities. Long term commitment is a key principle of CBPR partnerships, and we need institutional support for larger partnerships between universities and communities and cities to help ensure the long-term sustainability of CBPR research.” (Fleming.

“given that racism adapts over time, antiracist CBPR approaches will also need to adapt over time. CBPR approaches will also need to adapt over time. CBPR principles of co-learning and capacity building and openly addressing issues of racism and social classism- require CBPR researchers and community partners to follow guided approaches that allow continued critical self reflection and collective reflection regarding racial equity in the partnership. Being adaptive means that the current CBPR core principles may and should be revised in the future to better align with community priorities or antiracism ideas.” (Fleming. P.J., Stone, L.C., Creary, M.S., Greene-Moton, E., Isreal, B.A., Key, K. D., & Shulz, A.J. (2023)

“The waters of white supremacy in which we swim pose major barriers to actualizing antiracist CBPR partnerships for health. These waters have been created and constructed over centuries to value the lives, institutions, and knowledge of white people and devalue the human dignity and lives of black, indigenous, Latinx, arab, Asian, and other marginalized groups. In this sense, the impact of any programmatic or policy-based intervention is bound by linked oppressive systems.” (Fleming. P.J., Stone, L.C., Creary, M.S., Greene-Moton, E., Isreal, B.A., Key, K.

"A paradigm may be viewed as a set of basic beliefs that deals with ultimate’s or first principles. It represents a worldview that defines, for its holder, the nature of the “world” the individuals place in it, and the range of possible relationships to that world and its parts."

“Historically, there has been a heavy emphasis on quantification in science. Mathematics is often termed the “queen of sciences,” and those sciences, such as physics and chemistry, that lend themselves especially well to quantification are generally known as “hard.” Less quantifiable arenas, such as biology (although that is rapidly changing) and particularly social sciences, are referred to as “soft”.

“Literature reviews can feel overwhelming for the first-time researchers because of the amount of information available and the apparent authority of researchers who are publishing in their disciplines. You can always seek the assistance of library personnel to help you navigate the library and information world.” (Reid, C., Greaves, L., & Kirby, S (2017)

“It is essential to work with a well-defined research question. A concise and clear question will mean that the data you gather are more likely to be directly related to your question rather than related only in a tangential way. Patience is key, since even the most experienced researchers often find framing the right question difficult.” (Reid, C., Greaves, L., & Kirby, S (2017)

When reading the sentence "literature reviews can feel overwhelming", I thought about the dozens of things I have done in my life that at the time felt so overwhelming that I have done, for instance, jumping off this ledge in Jamaica.

“It is not noticeable this “all” to those who pass through this “all” until you point it out, becoming a feminist killjoy, making sore points, assumed to be sore because of your points. I do not even usually both to point out that the “all male” is often “all white”. though I could make that point, becoming an angry person of color. (Ahmed, S (2013, September 11)
