TITLE OF RESEARCH/ASSESSMENT/EVALUATION | Breakfast for Banter (Bogad, 2002) |
CRUST (type of research) | Qualitative |
SAUCE (ideology/underlying beliefs) | Constructivist The following quote makes it clear as day that this is purely constructivist, and that you as a researcher claim no objectivity. "I am a researcher. They are the subjects I study. But I am always trying to position myself with them, rather than against them, to be a part of the inside rather than on the outside." |
TOPPINGS (methods and tools) | Observation |
UTENSILS: (how is it cut up and served AKA: analyzed?) | Data synthesized by author |
BOX (how is it delivered?) | Data presented in the form of an article. |
NOTES: | Loved reading this article. I admire how the youth took ownership of the space, how they interacted with adults, and one another. It is 2025 now, I wonder where they are, what they are doing, and how they carried the lessons from Banter for Breakfast into adulthood. |

In your notes section, that last question is one that I'm always asking myself. "Where are they now?" That answer is the one that will help quantify the voices. How do you track that, though? "How you gon win if you aint right within." and you can't test within without going deep into the others' story.
ReplyDeleteWhat questions would you ask somebody to see "How are they doing?" Where do you work? How much do you make? How would you rate your peace of mind 1-10? These participants are in their 40s now. They have to be doing SOMETHING ya know.
Hi Aji, I love your post. I agree I wonder where they are and if there group has blossomed into something bigger.
