Abstract

I chronicle the changes in my research, especially those that have moved me closer to C. Wright Mills's call for a “sociological imagination” and Dell Hymes's reinvented anthropology. As I spend more time attempting to create and describe equitable educational environments and less time documenting educational inequality, I have adopted a version of “design research.” I describe the possibilities and limitations of trying to conduct research while participating in the phenomenon under investigation.
