This important new collection has that ‘forward tilt’ described by the editors, of elaborating new concepts and new possibilities for thought and action, while being anchored in the ethics and the affects of specific research projects and encounters. It is a lively and serious contribution to a field that, thankfully, still has no fixed boundaries.

Maggie MacLure, Professor of Education, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK

Matthew Thomas and Robin Bellingham have assembled a book we need in this moment, one that moves beyond the pronouncements of post-qualitative, posthumanist, and agential realism as departures from what was and takes the step of materially exploring what social inquiry can be. It does so with an honesty about the slippages, challenges, and struggles of putting new theory to work that will stimulate great conversations in methodology classes and conferences for years to come.

Jerry Rosiek, Professor of Education Studies, University of Oregon, USA

This provoking volume is one of the Bloomsbury Social Theory and Methodology in Education Research Series…The book provides an opportunity to question assumptions upon which research and society are built… The editors and authors are to be congratulated for developing and presenting a book that takes us to see research with different eyes, to imagine new forms and terms, to be intrigued by the intersecting of humanity with the natural world, and to envisage further changes that are moving into the world of Artificial Intelligence.

- Margaret Malloch, Australian Journal of Adult Learning

This book explores the possibilities of the relationships between theory and method as enacted in post-qualitative research. The contributors, based in Australia, Canada, the UK and USA, use theory and method to disrupt established traditions and create new and alternative possibilities for research in identity, agency, power, social justice, space, materiality, and other transformations. Using examples of recent and highly innovative research practices which meaningfully challenge taken-for-granted assumptions in education and social science, the editors and contributors open new ground for other ways of thinking about doing research in these fields. Major theoretical perspectives explored and applied include: posthumanism, poststructuralism, feminist theory, ecofeminism, new materialism, SF, and critical theory and the theorists drawn on include: Karen Barad, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, Mikhail Bakhtin, Donna Haraway, Michel Foucault, Judith Butler, Rosie Braidotti, Anna Tsing and Stacy Alaimo.

This book works toward imagining and enacting the future of qualitative research methodology and explores the important relationship that exists between theory and method.
Future oriented, innovative, challenging thinking about education research, what it is and what it can be and can do now and in the future

The Bloomsbury Social Theory and Methodology in Education Research series brings together books exploring various applications of social theory in educational research design. Each book provides a detailed account of how theory and method influence each other in specific educational research settings, such as schools, early childhood education, community education, further education colleges and universities. Books in the series represent the richness of topics explored in theory-driven education research, including leadership and governance, equity, teacher education, assessment, curriculum and policy studies. This innovative series provides a timely platform for highlighting the wealth of international work carried out in the field of social theory and education research, a field that has grown considerably in recent years and has made the likes of Pierre Bourdieu and Michel Foucault familiar names in educational discourse.
