Why the honoree chose the book
While this volume contains many important contributions to debates and meaning-making surrounding how social power conditions the construction of knowledge, my main reason for choosing it centers on Phil Francis Carspecken's chapter, "Basic Concepts in Critical Methodological Theory." Carspecken's methodological theory supports researchers in illuminating the entrenched, often occluded ways in which racialized and economic social power produces and legitimizes inequities in U.S. education. I read Carspecken's first book six times while writing my dissertation, and his work continues to stretch and inspire my growth as a methodologist and educator.
