34.056 - Doings and Dialogues of Post-Qualitative Experimentations: Transversal Methods and Justice-to-Come in Early Childhood Education

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This panel will share research(ing) stories as a provocation for dialogue about transversal methods in early childhood studies, stories that grapple with complex methodological understandings and practices that have emerged within what many refer to as post-qualitative research. Each brief paper shared presents a different method that the authors have put to work in their early childhood post-qualitative, ethico-onto-epistemological inquiries. The second half of the symposium will be given for the discussant to lead the panellists and symposium participants in an interactive dialogue following the six papers, to engage the authors’ work in response to one another, amplify productive disjunctures between the methods, challenge paradoxes and complicities, and discuss the complexities in attending to empirical research as always becoming.
