What Is (Your) Methodology? Making Sense of Methodology’s Multiplicity in Qualitative Inquiry
Qualitative research is multiply multiple. Because of this, researchers must navigate many possibilities in designing, doing, and defending a qualitative study. While these navigations can be challenging for all qualitative inquirers, they may be especially so for graduate students. Guided by the difficult necessities in answering the doubled questions “What is (your) methodology?”, I offer two concepts as resources for these navigations: numerou…
Arts-Based Methodologies
Arts-based methodologies are a family of methodological practices that engage and intersect multiple disciplines, all the while centering the arts as and in inquiry. Within qualitative research, arts-based methodological practices cultivate spaces for non-traditional modes of inquiry, data, and (re)presentation, expanding possibilities for methodologies and methods, broadening how scholars/artists communicate, relate, and understand. Arts-based m…
Inquiring Artfully: Enacting Artful Politics
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…
Not Just Surface: Conceptualizing Artful Inquiry via Embroidery
In this article, I conceptualize artful inquiry by answering the question, “What sort of movement does it, as a mode of inquiry, evoke, manifest, or set to work? ” Stitching-with embroidery, theorizations of tension and surface, feminist critiques of the art/craft divide, and discussions of methodological (dis)alignment and (dis)coherence in qualitative inquiry, I argue that artful inquiry is—like embroidery—particularly tensile . Although, in th…
Enter, the Chorus: An Ethnodrama of Academic Motherhood in (and Beyond) the Covid-19 Pandemic
How might ethnodrama (re)present ways that academic mothers responded to the collision of work/home, especially as it was intensified by virtual/electronic tools like Zoom? In 2021, we interviewed 54 academic mothers about their experiences in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic. In hearing their stories, we became interested in the ways spaces were constructed for both privacy and/or accessibility, relative to what was (in)visible whe…
Inquiring Artfully: Provoking Possibilities With/Through/for Qualitative Encounters
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…
Home/Work: A Feminist Poetic Inquiry of Academic Mothers’ Pandemic Experiences
This article details a poetic inquiry that explored how academic mothers navigated the tensions between home/work during the pandemic: the simultaneous pulls of academia and motherhood in competing directions. Theoretically, we draw inspiration from Sara Ahmed’s concept of feminist homework. Feminist homework, according to Ahmed, is the work feminists do to interrogate and transform oppressive patriarchal structures. It is work carried home becau…
I am with you: Artful (k)nottings in/with qualitative pedagogy
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…
List-keepers and other carrier bag stories: Academic mothers' (in)visible labor during the Covid-19 pandemic
Thing is Whatever This is That I Can't Say: Exploring Aporias through Poetic Inquiry
This inquiry exists because of a necklace I made but could not explain. I picked up theory and poetry and set off on a journey to answer why, and what now. How do you articulate the value of something you remain incapable of explaining? In the middle of the journey, I reached the edge of a ravine. This paper is written there, at the lip of the aporia. It is like a letter or a map. It aims to guide you to that uncrossable gap existing between thin…
