imaginings. Our collective writing is not about the vision or about insights into the future of qualitative inquiry per se, but
it is about ways in which some qualitative researchers wish to stay methodologically and theoretically in flux and motion.
We desire to face this uncertainty, rawness, and creative chaos by engaging in collective thinking without constant and
continuous purification and “cleaning” efforts. The future of qualitative inquiry is not one but multiple; thus, there cannot
be one “vision” but all visions; visions on top of other visions, visions continuing other visions, visions contradicting others,
visions lacking and desiring something that cannot be described, understood, or had.

more positive renditions of gay characters, curricular and pedagogical choices seem to
remain quite unsympathetic and “conservative,” reproducing harmful stereotypes. This
paper contends that the kiss in YAL can symbolize the physical, social, and moral
manifestation of same-sex desire, and thus functions as a personal, social, and moral
marker of one’s relation to oneself and to others. To aid our discussion, we employ
Axel Honneth’s theory of recognition. Integrating Honneth’s theory of recognition
with lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer and questioning (LGBTQ) young adult novels
offers researchers the potential to conduct literary analysis that offers readers, teachers,
and students new or alternative “readings” of LGBTQ individuals as well as the social
constraints that obstruct social recognition for everyone within a given space. This
paper provides a brief literature review of LGBTQ YAL in education and then
explicates Honneth’s theory of recognition, followed by an application of Honneth’s
theory to David Leviathan’s novel, Two Boys Kissing.

Jeter's numbers were below his normal averages and, in response to questions about them, Jeter gave the following response, I don't care about those numbers as long as I win. There are ways to win that you don't get numbers for. If you hit a ground ball to move a guy over from second to third, and then the next guy hits a ground ball and gets an RBI, you don't hear about the guy who moved the runner over. I'm hitting second, and some of those other [bignamed shortstops] are batting third. Part of my job is moving guys over and scoring runs (Jeter in Kuehl, Kuehl, & Tefertiller, 2005, p. 64).

It explores how the digital medium VoiceThread could support their efforts to teach poetry. Results indicate that these future teachers found VoiceThread to be an effective tool to prepare, implement, and teach poetry to secondary students.

Arizona case. The authors endeavor to offer another voice, framework and approach that may help sustain a continuous, paramount conversation concerning the educational rights of English language learners and the ways in which the public rationalizes appropriate state provisions for such students. Therein, the manuscript operationalizes the rationalities that appear across pro-Flores data (which consists of public opinion rhetoric positioned in support of the plaintiff and therefore in favor of appropriate state support for English language learners). The analysis of this data lays bare the echoes of the discursive regime surrounding the Flores case, a regime which unmasks neo-liberal rationalities for supporting English language learners. For example, the findings indicate that neo-liberal rationalities such as commodification, competition, risk, security, insurance and entrepreneurialism dominate the discursive landscape and eclipse alternative ways of arguing in support of students' rights to equitable and appropriate education, including social justice, pluralism and democracy.
Fashioning Sexual Selves: Examining the Care of the Self in Urban Adolescent Sexuality and Gender Discourses

The focus group participants wrote letters to an imaginary new student at their school, discussed what they see and hear in their schools, and kept journals recording a week's worth of observations. The writings and conversations are analyzed in this paper through the lens of Foucault's Care of the Self in order to understand how young people characterize their own and their peers’ actions and words as ethical moves in the fashioning of themselves as sexual subjects.
