Rethinking Resistance as Relational – Resisting Psychologization in Psychology
Psychology, and in particular mainstream positive psychology, is fuelled by discourses on resistance strategies, understood as the individual capacity to resist and adapt to negative and oppressive thoughts, circumstances, experiences, and social structures. This self-strategy of resistance is evident in positive psychology’s notions of resilience: grit, life-crafting, and job-crafting behaviors, for example. While positive psychology would have …
Decentring human emergences with bodyplace brute
Purpose This creative entry experiments with what becomes possible when the human is decentred in educational experiences and how virtual ∼ relational spaces provoke unexpected encounters that unsettle dominant, power-based boundaries in knowledge production. It highlights the quieter, softer, immanent productions of collaboration that bodies, places and brute relational disruptions enact as care. Design/methodology/approach On March 4th, the sec…
Punking the Academic Machine
This composition foregrounds various conceptual and affective possibilities of punk rock as inquiring artfully. A punk rock stance carries its own implications for methods of inquiring artfully, and we offer a punk drama composition adventure to foreground wild thinking and rebellious doing of inquiry. We develop a punk composition to stimulate a punk rock ethos in the readers and artful inquirers. These ethoses encourage the listeners to live an…
Dark Inquiries
(Methodological) darkness returns. Metodologisen pimeyden elementit kutsuvat laadulliseen tutkimukseen. Hesitant dark inquiries sensitize qualitative scholars toward relationality, whereas living dark futures may stimulate various contextual practices and situational inquiry processes. Metodologisen pimeyden moninaisuus ja hetkellinen läheisyys aktivoivat tutkijaa ja tutkimusprosesseja. In this article, dark and darkness, in their different affec…

Scholar #Famous #Monster
Academic success is now coupled with social media engagement. Social media has become so normalized in the academy that absent a carefully curated social media presence, scholars risk being seen as unscholarly, unproductive, and unpopular. This article lays bare the pressures, mechanisms, and monstrosities of using social media to promote scholarship. We argue that the widespread adoption of social media outpaces critical attention to its ethics …
Teaching Postqualitatively
The purpose of this article is to explore how teachers, scholars, and mentors teach postqualitatively in diverse ways. Teaching postqualitatively does not easily conform with the delivery of set learning outcomes nor does it seek to measure learner progress or teaching quality in prescriptive and traditional ways. Rather, this kind of teaching could be seen as the task of the impossible and calls for the curious seeker and infinite learner, resem…
Becomings-With Critical Qualitative Inquiry
This special issue was initiated using ideas and content from the 2023 all-day discussion at the International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry (ICQI) relating critical qualitative inquiry (CQI) and contemporary issues of social, environmental, and other forms of justice. Definitions and multiple possibilities for CQI were explored. What is CQI? What does it mean for qualitative research? Critique? (Re)Conceptualization? To provide the reader with…
Footprints After the Research Act
This is a story of inspiration and (intellectual) freedom. This is a story of the of arts and multidimensional scholarly expression. This is a story of Remembering and gratitude
Reducing Methodological Footprints in Qualitative Research
This conceptual paper proposes that all methodologies create a footprint like the carbon footprint. Design and implementation of new methodologies require limited resources and funding, and these resources are not equitably distributed on a global scale. Thus, we argue for more ecological uses of methodologies, especially in the context of data collection and interdependent relations of knowledge/information creation. Like the excessive use of en…
Tags, tagging, tagged, # - undisciplining organ-ization of [academic] bodies
We write as a collaborative mode of embodied writing that moves, tags, and re-sites us elsewhere, that mis/dis/aligns self-other, and permeates various stable body(boundaries). We write as a group of (un)bounded (virtual) bodies who aim to collectively create and tag arguments. We write as a collective body where materialities, ideas, discussions and writing become in the doing. Different relational collective practices shared here disturb, dispe…
Speculative methodological subjects
Times of (post) health crisis, global unrest, and political turmoil, a reliance on conventional methods, which potentially lack radical imagination and future orientation, experimentation, and open-endedness, might not be enough. Furthermore, within the discourses of conventional qualitative inquiry, methodological subjects are often seen as overly pre-determined, singular, and static. In this paper, we approach the conceptual and practical chall…
Creative Methods for Creativity Research(ers)? Speculations
Creativity forms a part of educational curriculum and is an important element of education research. Clearly, creativity research of the past has made a great impact in the ways in which creativity has been integrated within education and educational practice. Yet how creativity has been studied and how the methodologies of these studies shape produced knowledge and impact educational practice are still rather limited and limiting. This chapter c…
Critical Qualitative Inquiry
The purpose of this special issue is to generate and expand the locations and perspectives from which justice and equity, in multiple forms, are and can be, orienting concepts for critical qualitative inquiry. Although critical inquiry originates from diverse views, concerns, and conditions, all forms would always and already address matters of privilege/harm, equity/ inequity, and justice/injustice, while at the same time challenging power-orien…
Methodologies for the Apocalypse
In this conceptual paper, we speculate on some goals and methodologies for social inquiry responsive to a viral and potentially unthinkable world. Rather than following old methodological scripts and validated practices, we imagine fluid, responsive, and urgent methodologies as needed responses to better show and vividly document our progression toward a possible (methodological) “apocalypse.” As such a real/imaginary apocalypse enables us to (un…
Speculative Experimentation in (Methodological) Pluriverse
This article is slightly modified from the Invited Egon Guba Memorial Lecture I gave at the American Educational Research Association (AERA) annual meeting in 2021. Drs. Aaron Kuntz and Juha Suoranta served as my discussants and their individual responses and comments are linked to this article. I think of this article having many potential provocations and imagined audiences while I intentionally did not carry forward linear and logical argument…
Autopsy as a site and mode of inquiry
For centuries the autopsy has been a key technology in Western culture for generating clinical/medical as well as cultural knowledge about bodies. This article hails the anato-medical autopsy as a generative trope and apparatus in reconfiguring Western humanist knowledge of bodies and bodies of knowledge and takes up the possibilities of working with the concept of autopsy in disrupting qualitative research methodology. In doing so, the article o…
Post-Qualitative Projects
The purpose of this article is to “do something less intentional” with post-qualitative inquiry while thinking about scholarship and “methodologies” as hesitant moves and uncertain stances always in necessary and immanent flux. Coming from hesitation and uncertainty post-qualitative inquiry does not mean anything specific or particular to me. Rather, I focus on the potential embedded in post-qualitative projects while I also worry about creating …
A femin… manifesto
This article is a femin... manifesto for supporting and encouraging academic ecologies of care and cure: it is a collaborative assemblage created by six academics—laborers, white, native American, European, Caucasian, cisgender, neurodivergent, bisexual, gay, and... and... and...—who wrote these reflections during the pandemic events that affected their lives. The cultural artifact, the femin... manifesto , is organized around nine theses, each o…
Infantmethodologies
Infantmethodologies is a concept that was playfully invented to gauge philosophical interestin the intersection between infants (or a chid; or infancy; or childhood) and methodologies(and philosophies, theories and concepts). This provocation aims to debate this intersection andweaves thinkers from around the world in order to generate discussion on the question, ‘Howdo we study a child’? Asking this question generates further questions: What pro…
Working through the experiences of first-generation students of color, university mission, intersectionality, and post-subjectivity
This qualitative study investigates how first-generation undergraduate students of Color at a historically white institution in the U.S. make sense and process the university’s mission, especially in relation to the theoretical frameworks of intersectionality and post-subjectivity. U.S. universities are often structured on market-driven ideologies. They do not necessarily deeply take into account the experiences of their first-generation students…
Relational spaces
This paper might not describe spatial writing or qualitative inquiry. This paper might not express or represent writing in well-defined space by clearly identified scholars or authors. This paper might not write and presented images might not speak. Instead, possibilities in this paper might be stimulated through the acts of reading, writing, thinking, and doing. Writescapes, as lived and discussed in this paper, have potential to create and prod…
Conferencing Otherwise
This article attempts to reconfigure hegemonic framings of 'the academic conference' and thereby offer a means to (re-)encounter the spatial, temporal, and affective forces that conferences generate, differently. We are a geographically dispersed but multiply entangled group of academic researchers united by theoretical fault lines within our work that seek to ask what if and what else. This 'what if' and 'what else' thinking has manifested in ex…
Public Performances and Art-Based Interventions in Liminal Academic Spaces
In this research, we brought together various theories and speculative conceptual connections of otherness associated with liminality especially as seen through one methodological experiment and art-based intervention, namely flash mobs. From our perspective, liminality and liminal spaces are incomplete and always becoming since often they cannot be documented or described through existing language and normative concepts. Moving away from normati…
Twisted Liminalities
This introduction offers a brief and poetic introduction to historical uses of liminality. It also explains how authors in this special issue were tasked with thinking of liminalities as multiplicities or twisted liminalities. This means liminalities is not simply a rite-of-passage, but crosses time-spaces and can be a site of resistance within the contemporary moment. Also, liminalities can be an ontological position that challenges entrenched m…
(E)pistemological Awareness, Instantiation of Methods, and Uninformed Methodological Ambiguity in Qualitative Research Projects
This article explores epistemological awareness and instantiation of methods, as well as uninformed ambiguity, in qualitative methodological decision making and research reporting. The authors argue that efforts should be made to make the research process, epistemologies, values, methodological decision points, and argumentative logic open, accessible, and visible for audiences. To these ends, they discuss two ways of conceptualizing the role of …

Validity, Responsibility, and Aporia
In this article, the author problematizes external, objectified, oversimplified, and mechanical approaches to validity in qualitative research, which endorse simplistic and reductionist views of knowledge and data. Instead of promoting one generalizable definition or operational criteria for validity, the author's "deconstructive validity work" addresses how validity can be framed in the context of researchers' responsibility and decision making …
The Management of Courtesy Stigma in the Lives of Families With Teenagers With ADHD
This qualitative study investigates how parents of adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) manage courtesy stigma in their lives. Focus groups are conducted with mothers and fathers of adolescents with ADHD who are part of a cohort study on ADHD detection and service use. Using grounded theory analysis, researchers find that parents react to external expectations put forward by various community networks, but they respond…
Disturbing the AcademicConferenceMachine
Author 1: They say they want to disturb the AcademicConferenceMachine. Author 34: What is an AcademicConferenceMachine? Author 2: Please do not go in that direction. Ask, for example, what does an AcademicConferenceMachine do? Author 51: Ok, so what does it do? Author 6: AcademicConferenceMachines are becoming so regulated and standardized that they might lose the possibility to produce different knowledge and to produce knowledge differently. Au…
Neoliberalism in Higher Education
Concern regarding capitalism, profiteering, and the corporatization of higher education is not new. A market focus that creates students as consumers and faculty as service providers has dominated global practices in colleges and universities for some time. Most recently, however, this more liberal market-driven focus has actually morphed away from a jurisdictional emphasis (with a potential focus on fairness) to forms of veridiction (neoliberal …
Moving Between Nuisance, Secrets, and Splinters as Data
Knowledge is] like the swift flight of a sparrow through the room where you sit at supper in winter...whilst the storms of rain and snow prevail outside; the [data]...while [it] is within, is safe from the wintry storm; but after a short space...[it] immediately vanishes out of your sight, into the dark winter from which [it] had emerged. So [data] appears for a short space, but of what went before, or what is to follow, we are utterly ignorant..…
Post Author/Ship
In this article, imposters' (or fake authors) aim is to problematize fixed concepts such as author, authoring, and authorship both in qualitative research and in organization studies-especially in relation to organizational communications that ostensibly promote and value diversity of (sexual) identity. In seeking to do so, these imposters engage with an IKEA ad and, in a process of "prospective" writing, inductively explore the absence or void o…
Methodology brut
A reminder: This text has been created as a series of brut and raw responses representing a collective of "impossible" imaginings. Our collective writing is not about the vision or about insights into the future of qualitative inquiry per se, but it is about ways in which some qualitative researchers wish to stay methodologically and theoretically in flux and motion. We desire to face this uncertainty, rawness, and creative chaos by engaging in c…
The erosion of a method
Since its original inception in the 1960s grounded theory has been widely used by many qualitative researchers. However, recently epistemologically different versions of grounded theory have been presented and this epistemological diversity among grounded theorists and the erosion of the method will be the major focus of this paper. The first section explores the question of what ‘erosion’ of grounded theory means for the practice of qualitative …
Coming Out, But Into What? Problematizing Discursive Variations of Revealing the Gay Self in the Workplace
There is a substantial mainstream literature on coming out in organizations, which investigates the positive effects for gay people of being out at work, but very few contributions that challenge the discourse of coming out. Taking as its starting point Butler's famous question ‘So we are out of the closet but into what?’, this paper problematizes coming out discourses in the workplace. We report on a study in which ten men were invited to talk a…

Researchers of the World, Create
In this article, the author wants to work against simplified and mechanical notions of qualitative research simultaneously illustrating that researchers have a choice. The author aims to create an overlapping and plural text that is dynamic, presenting possibilities for surprise and more intensive experiences with research and texts. More specifically, the author disrupts the traditional ordered narrative in a conceptualizing and critiquing of me…
Demystifying Interdisciplinary Qualitative Research
This article seeks to demystify, through deconstruction, the concept of interdisciplinarity in the context of qualitative research to contribute to a new praxis of knowledge production through reflection on the possibilities and impossibilities of interdisciplinarity. A review and discussion of disciplinarity and interdisciplinarity leads the authors to formulate and explore the following questions: What is interdisciplinary knowledge? What is it…
Impossibilities of Reconciliation
This article discusses how validity and truth claims, which are often based on singular theoretical and philosophical assumptions, are negotiated within qualitative research practices created at the intersection of two theoretical perspectives. The article asks, What are the possibilities and impossibilities of validity established within the discursive fields that form and shape mixed theory projects? More specifically, this article explores how…
The Technologies of Normalization and Self
In this article, the authors discuss the technologies of normalization and self in relation to ethics and the problematization of extrinsic research ethics. They argue that institutional review boards (IRBs) and other similar institutional mechanisms promote extrinsic forms of ethics that are exemplified through institutionalized structures such as (a) the Belmont Report, (b) IRB protocol, (c) informed consent, and (d) localized interpretations o…

Writing Visually Through (Methodological) Events and Cartography
This article explores visual forms of writing through cartography and methodological events. As re-envisioned writing practices and textual methodologies potentially push boundaries of qualitative research, these new lines of inquiry also may respond to persisting educational challenges that confine occupational job design and career pathways in education. Various related and unrelated inquiries, representations, and practices set in motion a ser…
Data' As Vital Illusion
I produce data. You produce data. She produces data. We produce data. They produce data. Data is being produced. Data produces us. Data. Data. Data. . . . But only illusions of 'data.' Copies of 'data.' ∞
"Answers," Assemblages, and Qualitative Research
Although educational researchers predominately study complex, multidimensional problems, research findings and proposed arguments can sometimes be characterized as definite, simplified, and prone to particular types of answers or expected outcomes. The authors seek to problematize these definite and simplified notions of answers by looking at some historical developments of dialogue and how answers have been conceptualized within these historical…
Contending With Border Making in the Social Constructionist Interview
As a part of the border-making process that occurs during the social constructionist interview, realities and various preassumed roles are created by researchers and by their respondents. Arbitrary lines are set between researcher and respondent during the interview as the researcher seeks to better understand and tell the story of his or her interviewee in a clear and controlled manner. The authors do not consider the Romanticist aim of obtainin…
Metaphors as a way to explore qualitative data
Qualitative data can allow us to see multiple meanings and realities of human experiences. Sometimes the variations of realities makes interpretation challenging. This article provides examples of how metaphors, related to the life history context, "extend horizons of insight and create new possibilities" (Morgan, 1997, p. 351) to view the participants, the researcher, and the story of research as well as to add to the knowledge about Finnish sci…
Improvising Bags Choreographies
Postqualitative research-creation improvisations offer new possibilities to explore method/ology. In this article, we question how bags, as seemingly mundane objects, work as ontologically lively matter-as active agencies-to choreograph human-nonhuman relations and heterogeneous materialities. Working from three questions-How might a bag become? What do bags do? What do bags enable and enact?-we discuss four research-creation improvisations and t…
Problematizing Methodological Simplicity in Qualitative Research
Narratives and Nested-Time
Narratives are often created within a linear time, which allows them to be organized into a simple and discrete series of events. However, narratives can be created outside of linear time, thereby changing the organization of the narrative. To think about this further, we draw from Henri Bergson’s concept of duration and Gilles Deleuze’s ontology of difference to reconsider time in narratives and question the simple temporal organization of event…

Beliefs and Values of Successful Scientists
This article discusses a construction of academic work ethic among 16 gifted Finnish scientists. It highlights theoretical assumptions and practical implications of values and beliefs in the context of scientific work. Following the work of Kolhberg (1969, 1984) and Gilligan (1982), we build our theoretical pre-understandings on the ethics of justice and care. However, these orientations are insufficient to explain all the beliefs and values asso…
Displacing metaphorical analysis
Metaphorical analysis within a poststructuralist perspective displaces the assumed meanings of metaphors, especially if one expects those metaphors to provide stable epistemological connections. The analysis presented in this article produces alternative readings of participants'metaphors and illustrates how knowledge and truth are displaced once they are detached from positivism, intended meanings, or predetermined uses. Metaphor data from the i…

Strategic turns labeled 'ethnography
In this article we suggest that strategic turns shape various contemporary uses of ethnography and reflect the exploration of ontological, epistemological, and methodological alternatives. In addition, these strategic turns are aimed to meet the current challenges influenced by changing cultures and their diverse perceptions faced by an increasing number of qualitative researchers. The goal of description that has characterized one end of ethnogr…

A phenomenological study of Korean students' acculturation in middle schools in the USA
The purpose of this phenomenological interview study was to describe how visiting Korean students experience social adjustment and acculturation when attending US middle schools. As a result of phenomenological analysis, the essences of Korean students' social adjustment included: (1) descriptions of power struggles; (2) misconceptions of cultural differences; (3) coping behaviors; and (4) academic achievement. In conclusion, the authors argue th…

They argue that institutional review boards (IRBs) and other similar institutional mechanisms promote extrinsic forms of ethics that are exemplified through institutionalized structures such as (a) the Belmont Report, (b) IRB protocol, (c) informed consent, and (d) localized interpretations o…
Validity and Validation in the Making in the Context of Qualitative Research
In this article, I focus on two ways of conceptualizing validity and validation, by using reductionist and (e)pistemological approaches, respectively. I question some common understandings of reductionist validation and describe an (e)pistemological standpoint that provides an alternative to reductionist views. In addition, I argue that validity and validation, as concepts, are tools rather than reflections of truth. Furthermore, fallibility, whi…
Reflecting on the Experience Sampling Method in the Qualitative Research Context
In this conceptual article, we discuss how the conventional experience sampling method (ESM) was applied to a qualitative research project to increase participants' agency and empowerment during data collection. Specifically we outline the conceptual and methodological tensions, complexities, and power shifts that emerged during our data-collection process. Research examples illustrate the location of knowers (researchers and study participants),…
Positivity in qualitative research
This article emphasizes the essential role of positivity, an organized field of knowledge, in qualitative research and how positivity enables and limits qualitative data, design, and research process. First, I describe some possible objects and subjects of knowing in qualitative research and discuss potential conditions of postmodernist/poststructuralist qualitative research. I then illustrate how different systems (such as language and power) wi…

“Mission Civilisatrice”
In this paper, we take issue with the supposed superiority of specific epistemologies, methodologies, and research practices, as well as the neocolonialist practices of discovery, development and interpretation of evidence. Furthermore, we illustrate how the colonization of evidence is enacted through discourses of domination, subjectivication, and civilization. We maintain that these practices and discourses intend to establish more unified, nar…
Analysis of Critical Incidents and Shifting Perspectives
Adolescence represents a developmental period during which the severity of mental health problems for children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) might change. It is a time when teens are consolidating their self-identity and possibly questioning the label of an ADHD diagnosis, treatment, and types of interventions. In this study we investigated the shared critical events related to help seeking reported by 8 teenagers with ADHD…

Framework for the Analysis of Teenagers' Agency and Self-Disclosure and Methodological Reflections on Knowledge Production During Qualitative Research
The development of participant driven methodologies, especially those involving research with teenagers about potentially stigmatizing and sensitive topics, can benefit from methodological reflections on participants' agency and disclosure in many ways. Not only will these reflections provide important insights about systems of power operating during data collection process, but they also will assist researchers in making stronger claims about pa…

Double Gestures and Practices
Qualitative researchers working within biomedicine lead a double life. Biomedical discourse silences other, interpretive, and contextually situated voices through various processes including peer review and grant agencies as reviewers demand simplified (quasi-) quantitative methods while demanding the elimination of qualitative ‘jargon’ and situated knowledge. However, since both of the authors of this paper have lived within medical discourse, t…
Exploring Performativity and Resistance in Qualitative Research Interviews
This play describes how the authors become aware of the complexities of resistance and performativity in the qualitative interview process. It also illustrates how this awareness and subsequent acquisition of knowledge changed and informed the way they viewed qualitative research interviewing. More specifically, performativity is put into work in this play through various theorists and examples from two qualitative research studies. As Cathrine a…

We know that sexual harassment is a serious problem in academia. However, in this brief commentary I want to work against my ontological desire for simple answers to complex questions (of individual or institutional ethics, norms, power, university structures and hierarchies, bureaucracy, etc. associated with sexual harassment). I am curious what could be gained by asking questions-different, difficult, ethical, political, and personal questions.…
