The Murder of Crow: Parallax in Creative Scholarship (working title): An alternatively presented scholarly text. Diary entries are written by Désirée, a character in feminist author, Kate Chopin’s 1893 widely read and controversial short story “Désirée’s Baby.” The text addresses tensions of desire, race, power, gender, miscegenation and métissage, used in this context in forms beyond interracial marriage (see Irwin 2004; Chambers et al. 2008). This alternative research form, including a teacher researcher’s simultaneously unfolding commentary in present day, works at “[exploring] the links between culture, knowledge, and power, and uncovering disempowering educational and social practices” (see Hytten, 1999, p. 528). Advance publication contract from Cambria Press, NY.
