FBA/ADOS Diasporic Discourse Theory & Analysis
A Call for Original Diasporic-grounded DIGITAL Learning, Economic, and Curriculum Theories, Methodologies, and Frameworks!!
DIASPORIC DISCOURSE THEORY
In an era where digital platforms increasingly shape political engagement and resistance, the voices of historically marginalized groups have found renewed expression through online media (Papacharissi, 2015). Social media, especially YouTube, now functions as a site of both protest and passive withdrawal — a space where racial discourse is made visible and contestable (Hargett, 2025).
Diasporic discourse theory, as articulated by Papacharissi (2015), emphasizes that online expressions are not simply reflections of offline realities but performances shaped by the affordances of digital platforms. Hashtags, video commentaries, and digital storytelling create “networked publics” where individuals co-construct narratives of justice, resistance, and identity. In racial justice movements, these publics become venues for mobilization and contestation. Scholars such as Freelon, McIlwain, and Clark (2018) document how digital networks facilitated the spread of Black Lives Matter, enabling decentralized leadership and rapid response to police violence.
My platform on FANBASE, YOUTUBE, and THEPROFESSORMEYAGIOLUV (website) contributes to scholarship, the educational process, and the B-IPOC Diaspora by providing digital spaces for truthful discussion, Diaspora reform, and Digital Social Justice — the new grapevine of communication and protest (Hargett, 2025).
My Original Diasporic Maroon Memory Theory Families, Methodologies, and Frameworks inspired through thorough research of Stanford’s Design Theory and Creswell’s Constructivist Framework:
The design science method gained prominence during the 1960s after decades of scholarship and debate, creating a shift in design perspectives by challenging the neutral, intuitive process of designing. This method applies to diverse research paradigms outside the artistic and creative world, emphasizing critical engagement with cognition’s limitations while recognizing its strengths and potential.
Stanford further developed design theory by outlining specific implementation modalities with multiple-choice implementation styles, selection methods, and participant modes (Auernhammer & Roth, 2021). The focus remains on co-creation, iteration, and reapplying human-centered design as a foundation for transformative learning and innovation.
Being of great interest to me as a researcher, I align Creswell’s Worldviews (Creswell & Creswell, 2023), using mixed methods inspired by Stanford’s Design Theory Methodology. This convergence of design and philosophical participation informs the design and delivery of my chosen task, connecting scholarly construction with lived Diasporic epistemologies (Hargett, 2025).
