"Black Ancestral Text Analysis"
Presentation Abstract
Qualitative research urges a closer viewing of texts to uncover/recover ancestral wisdoms within them. In this presentation, we foreground Black Ancestral Text Analysis as a method for excavating ancestral wisdoms and warnings from the silences in text. Through practical applications of our research protocol, we invite the audience to meditate on what the silences offer to enrich our understandings of race, Blackness, and the ancestral in research that engages Black history and ways of knowing. The presentation concludes with a reflection on the ethics of care for archival recovery.
