29.082-8 - Work/Think/Play in Post-Qualitative Inquiry

• In Event: 29.082 - Roundtable Session 9

Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

This session aims to open up conversations about what does/can/should happen in the name of post-qualitative inquiry. Despite that post-qualitative inquiry is entangled and always becoming, scholars must still negotiate various constraints that impact the possibilities for and manners in which they can enact inquiry and make visible their processes. The papers in this session operationalize a concept, work/think/play (Authors, 2016), to take up and produce questions about conducting, representing, and living inquiry when failure, playful practices, writing visual and material landscapes, laziness, and useless philosophy contribute to how scholars envision the future of post-qualitative educational research.
