This book works towards imagining and enacting the future of qualitative research methodology, exploring the contested relationship between theory and method. The contributors, based in Australia, Canada, the UK and USA, use theory and method to disrupt established traditions and create new and alternative possibilities for research in identity, agency, power, social justice, space, materiality, and other transformations. Using examples of recent and highly innovative research practices which meaningfully challenge taken-for-granted assumptions in education and social science, the editors and contributors open new ground for other ways of thinking about doing research in these fields. Major theoretical perspectives explored and applied include: posthumanism, poststructuralism, feminist theory, ecofeminism, new materialism, SF, and critical theory and the theorists drawn on include: Karen Barad, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, Mikhail Bakhtin, Donna Haraway, Michel Foucault, Judith Butler, Rosie Braidotti, Anna Tsing and Stacy Alaimo.

Industry Reviews

This important new collection has that 'forward tilt' described by the editors, of elaborating new concepts and new possibilities for thought and action, while being anchored in the ethics and the affects of specific research projects and encounters. It is a lively and serious contribution to a field that, thankfully, still has no fixed boundaries. * Maggie MacLure, Professor of Education, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK *
Matthew Thomas and Robin Bellingham have assembled a book we need in this moment, one that moves beyond the pronouncements of post-qualitative, posthumanist, and agential realism as departures from what was and takes the step of materially exploring what social inquiry can be. It does so with an honesty about the slippages, challenges, and struggles of putting new theory to work that will stimulate great conversations in methodology classes and conferences for years to come. * Jerry Rosiek, Professor of Education Studies, University of Oregon, USA *
