Method as Relational Disruption: Dialogue, Refusal, and Emergence in Qualitative Inquiry

Thu, April 9, 7:45 to 9:15am PDT (7:45 to 9:15am PDT), JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, Floor: Ground Floor, Gold 4

Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

This roundtable brings together scholars whose work reimagines qualitative method through relational disruption and reflective emergence. Papers explore reflective dialogue as a justice-centered practice in educational renewal, crocheting as diasporic refusal that challenges representational logics, and unexpected moments in interviews as methodological opportunity. Collectively, the session resists extractive research norms and centers dialogue, tactility, and interruption as generative methodological forces. These works emphasize responsiveness, relationality, and reflexivity—not as add-ons, but as foundations for meaning-making and trust building. Together, they offer visions of qualitative inquiry that are grounded, creative, and committed to ethical presence amid complexity and tensions.
