The International Review Of Qualitative Research is a peer- reviewed journal that encourages the use of critical, experimental, and traditional forms of qualitative inquiry in the interests of social justice. We seek works that are both aca- demically sound and partisan, works that offer knowledge-based radical critiques of social settings and institutions while promoting human dignity, human rights, and just societies around the globe. Submissions to the journal are judged by the effective use of criti- cal qualitative research methodologies and practices for understanding and advocacy in policy arenas as well as clarity of writing and willingness to experiment with new and traditional forms of presentation. Linked to the annual Congress for Qualitative Inquiry, much of the journal’s content will be drawn from presentations and themes developed from these international meetings.

We also thank Carole Bernard for expert copyediting, Hannah Jennings for superb production design, and Katie Flanagan for assistance in gathering the index. Many of the chapters contained in this book were pre- sented as plenary or keynote addresses at the Sixth International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry, held at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, in May 2010. We thank the Institute of Communications Research, the College of Media, and the International Institute for Qualitative Inquiry for continued sup- port of the congress as well as those campus units that contributed time, funds, and/or volunteers to the effort. The congress, and by extension this book, would not have materialized without the tireless efforts of Katia Curbelo, Dong Hong, Melba Vélez, Koeli Goel, Li Xiong, Yiye Liu, Robin Price, and James Salvo (the glue who continues to hold the whole thing together).

Denzin and Michael D. Giardina [W]e seemingly tolerate a rising level of violence that ignores our common humanity and our claims to civilization alike. We calmly accept newspaper reports of civilian slaughter in far off lands. We glorify killing on movie and television screens and call it entertainment. We make it easy for men of all shades of sanity to acquire weapons and ammunition they desire. Too often we honor swagger and bluster and the wielder of force; too often we excuse those who are willing to build their own lives on the shattered dreams of others. — Robert F. Kennedy, 1968 Democracy, as well as social justice, is not a spectator sport. We cannot allow ourselves to simply sit on our couches and give passionate color commentary about what is happening in the world and how we must change it. When we do this we are playing a painful part in the continuance of the challenges we complain of. If we want the world to change it must start with us as individuals and our own actions. We can’t do the same thing we did last year and expect anything in the world around us to get better this year. We have to be a part of any transformation we seek in the world. — Cory Booker, 2011 9
