  • Inquiring Artfully: Enacting Artful Politics

    Open Access•M A Flint, K W Guyotte et al.•ARTICLE•International Review of…•2026

    The introduction to this special issue considers the political potential of enactments of artful inquiry. The editors examine how taking up artful practices as a way of making knowledge, turning to artists as theorists and philosophers, presenting findings visually, poetically, or through other evocative means, reorients, and reimagines the epistemological, ontological, and axiological assumptions of social science research. In doing so, we argue…

  • Collaging Awakening and Resistance With/in Artful Inquiry

    Open Access•M A Flint, Kiana Willis et al.•ARTICLE•Qualitative Inquiry•2026

    In this article, we conceptualize collage as artful inquiry. We think with the practices of collaging: shifting and layering materials and ideas, playing and experimenting, composing and juxtaposing, as a way to explore our shared and distinct experiences of awakening, resistance, and reflexivity that engaging in collage as artful inquiry provoked. Thinking with collage as both an artful and conceptual practice shapes how we think and conceive of…

  • A Daoist Orientation to Qualitative Inquiry: (Re)Considerations of Silence

    Open Access•Yixuan Wang, M A Flint et al.•ARTICLE•Culture Studies ↔ Critical…•2026•References: 46

    Qualitative researchers explore silence using different approaches and theories to think, make visible, interrogate, or deconstruct it in their inquiry. This paper draws on Daoist philosophy to explore silence as an ontological and epistemological entry point in qualitative methodology. We engage with two verses from Dao De Jing to reapproach and reconceptualize silence and silent moments in qualitative inquiries in Daoist theoretical underpinnin…

  • Dear Theory and Other Stories: Healing Our Relationship to Theory Through Reading

    Open Access•M A Flint, Jaminque L Adams et al.•ARTICLE•International Review of…•2025

    This collaboratively written article follows the narratives, memories, and reflections of six Black women and their professor, a White woman, as we read and grappled with theory in a qualitative research course. We explore our shared and individual experiences interpreting, understanding, and applying theory through reading with Katherine McKittrick. Reading together was healing because it gave us a new language or affirmation of our world and vi…

  • Administrative life in the time before crisis: Affect and the codependence of data and fear

    Laura E Smithers, Paul W Eaton et al.•ARTICLE•Critical Studies in Education•2025•References: 12

  • We regret to inform you”: Enacting willful feminist negotiations of rejection

    Janie Copple, M A Flint•ARTICLE•Qualitative Research Journal•2025•References: 6

    Purpose This study explores the role of rejection in academia, particularly within qualitative inquiry. It considers how a feminist ethic of compassion can reframe rejection as a site of relationality, growth and critical engagement rather than exclusion or failure. Design/methodology/approach Using a critical feminist perspective grounded in Sara Ahmed’s concepts of willfulness, happiness and snap, the authors engage in a collaborative inquiry o…

  • Inquiring Artfully: Provoking Possibilities With/Through/for Qualitative Encounters

    Open Access•K W Guyotte, Carlson H Coogler et al.•ARTICLE•Qualitative Inquiry•2025•References: 8

    The introduction to this special issue considers what might come from envisioning artful inquiry as a mode of thinking that inspires how we orient, how we encounter, and how we move , in our inquiry work. The editors present artful inquiry as a call to practice, to experiment, to play, to wonder. Artful inquiry is a motion, a doing, rather than a thing. A way to live questions; an invitation. In this special issue, the editors and contributing au…

  • Artful Diffractions: (En)tangling with Reflexivity and New Materialist Philosophy

    Open Access•M A Flint, Yixuan Wang•ARTICLE•Art/Research International A…•2024

    In this article, we explore the potential of artmaking as a reflexive practice, grounded in the work of feminist new materialist philosophers Karen Barad and Donna Haraway. Barad and Haraway’s philosophies emphasize our entanglement with more-than-human materialities and forces and consider our ethical responsibility to the world. We explore our own artful practices such as collaging, drawing, mapping, and creative writing as reflexive practices …

  • “You Don’t Want to Sound Like You’re from Alabama”: Resonances of Place and Race in Student Narratives of The South

    Open Access•M A Flint, Maureen Flint•ARTICLE•Journal of Curriculum Theorizing•2024

    Using sounded methodologies, this paper attunes to the sonic and discursive slippages between how and Alabama are invoked in college student narratives of navigating the socio-historical context of race on a University campus. Listening and composing with sound offers a methodology for mapping the discursive, intellectual, and material geographies that reify and perpetuate the histories and ongoing traumas of white supremacy and racialization in …

  • Critical Inquiry in and Against 21st-Century Authoritarian Times

    Open Access•Paul W Eaton, M A Flint et al.•ARTICLE•Culture Studies ↔ Critical…•2024•Cited by: 1•References: 28

    This paper forwards critical inquiry as a tool for hope against authoritarian movements in American public higher education. We utilize a speculative case study approach to interrogate the present moment, with its rising tide of authoritarian fascism in the United States and its manifestations in higher education. Rather than viewing this case (and its analogue) as solvable, we orient to it as a predicament. After introducing the problem of autho…

  • I am with you: Artful (k)nottings in/with qualitative pedagogy

    K W Guyotte, Carlson H Coogler et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Curriculum and Pedagogy•2023

    In this article, we think-with nots, knots, and (k)nots in the interstices of theory, methodology, pedagogy, and art. We define the (k)not as a bringing together of nots—openings toward creativity, mapping, and disruption—and knots—openings toward connection, entanglement, and speculative futures. Playing (k)nots within our own relations, we-three-and-more are entangled in a complex (k)not of teachers and students, mentors and mentees, friends an…

  • Epistemological Weaving: Writing and Sense Making in Qualitative Research with Gloria Anzaldúa

    Open Access•Luis R Alvarez-Hernandez, M A Flint•ARTICLE•Social Sciences•2023•References: 21

    How is writing a part of creatively understanding ourselves, research questions, data, and theory? Writing is a critical form of connecting concepts, exploring data, and weaving knowledge in qualitative research. In other words, writing is integral to theorizing. However, writing is not an individualistic process. Writing is a relational and creative epistemological weaving of thoughts and embodiments constructed by researchers and their interact…

  • Building community through feminist collectivity: Being and becoming women in academia

    Whitney Toledo, M A Flint et al.•ARTICLE•Gender and Education•2023•Cited by: 1•References: 9

    This paper explores women’s experiences in academia through collective biography from a feminist, transdisciplinary, intersectional frame. Crosscutting disciplines, classifications, and subject positions, we use dialogue to explore the nuances of what it is to be a woman in academia, and the experiences of building and developing community as women. We draw on data from a fall 2020 focus group where we each were part of a course in designing qual…

  • Making Good Trouble: Becoming-With Critical Inquiry

    Open Access•M A Flint, Whitney Toledo•ARTICLE•International Review of…•2022

    In this article, we conceptualize a methodology of “good trouble.” Making good trouble, as described by Civil Rights Leader and Congressman John Lewis is doing “something out of the ordinary,” making “a way out of no way.” Troubling is about how we relate as we live and become together in the world. We use the concept of troubling as a theoretical framing that simultaneously draws attention to in(un)justice and seeks new modes of relating. Making…

    Open Access•M A Flint, Shelly Melchior et al.•ARTICLE•Culture Studies ↔ Critical…•2022•References: 14

    In this article, we interrogate our experiences as four women academics with two short stories written in conversation with one another: The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas by Ursula K. Le Guin, and 'The Ones Who Stay and Fight,' written by N. K. Jemisin. Both Le Guin and Jemisin's stories evoke questions about ethics and responsibility in the face of oppression. More specifically, both stories offer complicated and nuanced considerations for how …

  • More-than-human methodologies in qualitative research: Listening to the Leafblower

    Open Access•M A Flint•ARTICLE•Qualitative Research•2022•Cited by: 8•References: 55

    This paper explores the methodological possibilities of listening to more-than-human sounds as an entry point to critical analysis. Through attending to the sound of a leafblower as it resonates across a university campus, this article draws lines between the resonances of the leafblower, higher education, and white supremacy to explore how sounds become embedded in bodies and spaces. In addition, this article offers a methodology of listening as…

  • Measuring Monsters, Academic Subjectivities, and Counting Practices

    Open Access•Susan Ophelia Cannon, M A Flint•ARTICLE•Matter Journal of New Materialist…•2021

    In this paper, we explore the online academic research platforms we are entangled with as tenure-track faculty members in the neoliberal university. We are so embedded in these systems that the assumptions and constructions inherent in practices of counting are often lost, wrapped in the coils of counting practices—a becoming with algorithm. Though academic platforms are intricately enmeshed in our research and lives, they have been operating as …

  • Dichotomies of method and practice: A review of literature on transcription

    Open Access•Stephanie Anne Shelton, M A Flint•ARTICLE•Qualitative Research Journal•2021

    Purpose Transcription is an integral component to qualitative research, and as such, the ways that researchers discuss transcription in the literature matter. Scholarly discussions on the “how” and “why” of transcription not only shape discourse within interview data-based fields; they inform the ways that researchers understand the roles and ramifications of transcribing. This study aims to provide a comprehensive literature review of articles o…

  • The nexus of trans collegians’ pronouns and name practices navigating campus space(s): Beyond the binary

    M A Flint, Cindy Ann Kilgo et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Diversity in Higher…•2021•Cited by: 1

    The purpose of our study is to explore the nexus between trans students’ experiences with pronoun usage and naming practices through campus interactions and navigations of campus. Grounded in a Deleuzian conception of becoming, our analysis explores the multiple and simultaneous ways that pronoun use effects trans student’s experiences on campus. As a theoretical orientation, becoming centers the multiplicitous and entangled narratives, experienc…

  • Racialized retellings: (Un)ma(r)king space and place on college campuses

    M A Flint•ARTICLE•Critical Studies in Education•2021•Cited by: 6•References: 13

    In higher education, the place of the college campus, as a site of experiences, histories, symbols, and encounters, has important implications for student outcomes. However, the place of campus is often treated as a static or neutral site – a black box within which student outcomes such as belongingness occur. This article argues that excavating the encounters and memories around campus monuments can serve as an entry point for unfolding how syst…

  • Sounded histor-futurit-ies: Imagining posthuman possibilities of race and place in qualitative research

    M A Flint•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2021•Cited by: 7•References: 16

    This paper examines how histories of racism, slavery, and white supremacy continue to resonate in the present through the creation and curation of an audio compilation of student narratives. Grounded in posthuman theories, the sound compilation of layered student narratives offers a starting point for exploring the relational, embodied, and material web of affects that characterize the nomadic posthuman subject. This article takes up Braidotti’s …

    This paper thinks with Braidotti’s nomadic ethics through the process of making paper to consider the ethical marks and cuts of doing qualitative research. Through the process of making paper, cutting, soaking, blending, pressing, and drying the debris of my dissertation, I consider questions of representation, ethics, and responsibility in qualitative research. Simultaneously, I consider the relations and interactions made possible through an ar…

  • Pedagogical Impasses: Posthuman Inquiry in Exhaustive Times

    Open Access•K W Guyotte, M A Flint•ARTICLE•Qualitative Inquiry•2020

    Impasses are often understood as blockages, as preventing something from moving along a desired trajectory. Thinking with Lauren Berlant’s conception of the impasse in the historical present and Rosi Braidotti’s writing on exhaustion in the posthuman subject, we wonder how we might move forward in/with the overwhelmingness of the present, impasses in and always exceeding the qualitative inquiry classroom. We inquire: How does the impasse inspire …

  • Giving up as a willful feminist practice

    K W Guyotte, M A Flint et al.•ARTICLE•Gender and Education•2020•Cited by: 4•References: 9

    What do we, as women, give up? What does it mean to give up as a woman in academia? We explored this question through a study with women doctoral students to reframe giving up as a purposeful, willful act. Sara Ahmed describes willfulness in relation to women who are perceived as resisting norms, shifting away from normative expectations, refusing what is expected. In this work, we push against the prevailing discourses of women in academia as pa…

    In this work, we explore first-year students’ experiences of belonging through the theoretical and methodological lens of nomadism. Specifically, we problematize conceptions of belonging subjects and spaces as bounded and static, instead taking up belongingness as a dynamic process that enfolds complex experiences and spaces. Using feminist poststructuralism, we move toward an understanding of belonging that disrupts stasis and fixity, conceptual…

However, writing is not an individualistic process. Writing is a relational and creative epistemological weaving of thoughts and embodiments constructed by researchers and their interact…

  • Building community through feminist collectivity: Being and becoming women in academia

    Whitney Toledo, M A Flint et al.•ARTICLE•Gender and Education•2023•Cited by: 1•References: 9

    This paper explores women’s experiences in academia through collective biography from a feminist, transdisciplinary, intersectional frame. Crosscutting disciplines, classifications, and subject positions, we use dialogue to explore the nuances of what it is to be a woman in academia, and the experiences of building and developing community as women. We draw on data from a fall 2020 focus group where we each were part of a course in designing qual…

  • Artful Diffractions: (En)tangling with Reflexivity and New Materialist Philosophy

    Open Access•M A Flint, Yixuan Wang•ARTICLE•Art/Research International A…•2024

    In this article, we explore the potential of artmaking as a reflexive practice, grounded in the work of feminist new materialist philosophers Karen Barad and Donna Haraway. Barad and Haraway’s philosophies emphasize our entanglement with more-than-human materialities and forces and consider our ethical responsibility to the world. We explore our own artful practices such as collaging, drawing, mapping, and creative writing as reflexive practices …

  • “You Don’t Want to Sound Like You’re from Alabama”: Resonances of Place and Race in Student Narratives of The South

    Open Access•M A Flint, Maureen Flint•ARTICLE•Journal of Curriculum Theorizing•2024

    Using sounded methodologies, this paper attunes to the sonic and discursive slippages between how and Alabama are invoked in college student narratives of navigating the socio-historical context of race on a University campus. Listening and composing with sound offers a methodology for mapping the discursive, intellectual, and material geographies that reify and perpetuate the histories and ongoing traumas of white supremacy and racialization in …

  • Critical Inquiry in and Against 21st-Century Authoritarian Times

    Open Access•Paul W Eaton, M A Flint et al.•ARTICLE•Culture Studies ↔ Critical…•2024•Cited by: 1•References: 28

    This paper forwards critical inquiry as a tool for hope against authoritarian movements in American public higher education. We utilize a speculative case study approach to interrogate the present moment, with its rising tide of authoritarian fascism in the United States and its manifestations in higher education. Rather than viewing this case (and its analogue) as solvable, we orient to it as a predicament. After introducing the problem of autho…

  • Dear Theory and Other Stories: Healing Our Relationship to Theory Through Reading

    Open Access•M A Flint, Jaminque L Adams et al.•ARTICLE•International Review of…•2025

    This collaboratively written article follows the narratives, memories, and reflections of six Black women and their professor, a White woman, as we read and grappled with theory in a qualitative research course. We explore our shared and individual experiences interpreting, understanding, and applying theory through reading with Katherine McKittrick. Reading together was healing because it gave us a new language or affirmation of our world and vi…
