Abstract
In this vignette, I respond to Bronwyn Davies’ discussion on recuperating legitimation, and explore the question, “what does it mean to recuperate terms that have been colonized by doublespeak?” Concepts of validity, generalizability, and evidence are excavated. I outline a methodology of repatriation aligned with Davies’ call for post-critical, post-realist research frames.
