This book offers a provocative collection of experimental approaches that challenge researchers to rethink fundamental assumptions about qualitative inquiry. By embracing posthumanist, new materialist, and poststructuralist perspectives, the contributors demonstrate how innovative theoretical and methodological frameworks can generate new insights and possibilities in educational research. While these approaches introduce greater complexity and uncertainty, they also open up exciting new frontiers for reimagining research practices and their potential impacts.
