The visible impacts of COVID-19 and racial injustice have resulted in renewed funding commitments and research within minoritized communities. However, this work is too often anchored in deficit and damage-centered research approaches and practices. In this brief, we call on the qualitative research community to reframe their perspectives and terminate harmful, pain-driven research. We underscore the importance of humanizing and liberatory approaches to research with youth who are racially/ethnically minoritized. Specifically, we contend that the emotional health and overall well-being of youth are impacted by the approaches employed by researchers and the experiences racially/ethnically minoritized youth have with research. Thus, we offer specific anti-oppressive strategies and recommendations for qualitative researchers to consider in their work with racial/ethnically minoritized youth and communities.
新冠疫情和种族不公的明显影响促使人们重新承诺为少数族裔社区提供资金并开展研究。然而，这项工作往往以缺陷和损害为中心的研究方法和实践为基础。在本简报中，我们呼吁定性研究界重新审视他们的观点，终止有害的、由痛苦驱动的研究。我们强调，对于种族/族裔少数群体的青年，采用人性化和解放性的研究方法非常重要。具体而言，我们认为，研究人员采用的方法以及种族/族裔少数群体青年的研究经历会影响他们的情绪健康和整体幸福感。因此，我们为定性研究人员提供了具体的反压迫策略和建议，供他们在与种族/族裔少数群体青年及社区合作时考虑。
