Abstract

Focusing on the rigor requirements for the research process and product in constructivist research, the article is about the emancipatory elements of this alternative form of human inquiry. Examples are provided from a research project with street children in Salvador, Bahia, Brasil, which illustrate the social justice potential in "trustworthiness" and "authenticity" when undertaking constructivist research.
