The purpose of this article is to explore how teachers, scholars, and mentors teach postqualitatively in diverse ways. Teaching postqualitatively does not easily conform with the delivery of set learning outcomes nor does it seek to measure learner progress or teaching quality in prescriptive and traditional ways. Rather, this kind of teaching could be seen as the task of the impossible and calls for the curious seeker and infinite learner, resembling art, craft, and creation. The more we attempt to describe and articulate how we have in the past, through literature and collective experiences, and how we could teach postqualitative research in the future, the more the inquiry practices and learning assemblages escape and disappear. We wonder what collective affects and practices are associated with teaching and learning postqualitatively and what speculative postqualitative practices of the futures may produce.

The purpose of this article is to examine the role of the researcher in stimulating a constructive group climate in online focus-group interviews. It is argued that a climate of psychological safety enhances the likelihood of people expressing their true opinions and thoughts regarding the topic at hand, which is a crucial quality of focus-group research. However, these aspects are more difficult to develop in online encounters than face-to-face. We therefore look into how the researcher can work to acquire focus-group data of adequate quality from online focus-group interviews. Based on an analysis of the research literature on focus-group interviews, as well as group development theory and person-centered theory, we propose three main strategies for researchers who conduct online focus-group interviews: (a) creating conditions before the interview; (b) creating conditions at the beginning of the interview; and (c) active interventions during, and at the end of, the interview.

Qualitative research is full of spilled secrets, but what are the ethical implications of researchers/participants disclosing secrets in an interview? In this article, I explore the thicket of ethical issues surrounding disclosure and spilled secrets in qualitative research and propose a postqualitative model of trauma-informed research to navigate this thicket. I apply my unique model to five key ethical issues: (a) the significance of disclosure in interviews and the implications it has for the data collection and analysis process, (b) the catharsis participants can experience from spilling secrets and the risks this cathartic process can pose for the researcher, (c) how “insider” researchers can be adversely affected by participants sharing secrets, (d) the ethical issues that surround reciprocity and researchers sharing their own secrets, and (e) the role of silence and refusal in the interview and whether rapport-building and interviewing techniques can be considered a type of manipulation.

In a sociopolitical environment where LGBTQ+ rights are under attack, we are in critical need of research that challenges stigma and promotes joy for queer and trans people. Research poems utilize qualitative texts to disseminate findings via poetry, which can reduce stigma, promote empowerment, and tell a story. Interviews with LGBTQ+ college students ( n = 32) explored their experiences coming to and thriving in healthy intimate relationships. The authors, a queer cisgender woman and a queer genderqueer person, created the poem using quotes to illustrate processes of understanding one’s identity, discovering love, navigating queer relationships, and self-discovery.

Coproduced research is at risk of becoming, and has perhaps already become, a ‘mere buzzword’, separated from its social and academic value. We argue this is connected to two things: the structuring of contemporary, particularly Global Northern, academia, and the traditional, dichotomous, and false intellectual separation of rationality from emotionality. Our modest attempt to tackle these problems come in the form of an extended critical discussion of coproduction and a social theoretical account of the emotions. These sections provide something of a ‘ground clearing’, based upon which, we illustrate our thesis with two personal accounts about how we came to value coproduction as a fundamentally moral and ethical way to approach our research. We conclude by appealing to colleagues to join us in attempting to undermine the empty and tokenistic use of coproduction by openly and honestly discussing the axiological and emotional foundations from which they work.

Have you ever been overcome with a profound feeling of humility? Perhaps this moment was unexpected or surprising, giving itself as an insight, reverence, or awe. You feel humbled. But now it seems that this feeling itself has strangely turned into some kind of opening, a sensibility, a method even. For a text, we may consider humility as a quality, recognizing it goes beyond the pairing of author and reader. The focus of this article is to explore humility as a method for qualitative inquiry that moves the temporal moment of writing to the meaningful core of a textorium.

Relational education design advocates for whole-person exchange between teachers, students, facilitators, and participants. In this essay, we discuss what an emphasis on the relational allows and provide suggestions for its conditions including, space, time, authenticity, trust, dialogic development, and institutional support. The co-authors demonstrate how relational education experiences are highly situational, and conclude by suggesting that a relational education design is capable of providing an orientation to education design suitable for our highly complex contemporary socio-political conditions, one that has the capacity to engage all parties in the educational space in dialogic, authentic, and, necessarily, relational experiences.

This article develops a definition of creativity that is informed by the work of Gilles Deleuze, Dan Harris, Susan Luckman, and others. We explore its application in the context of the creative industries in Australia. Through our empirical interviews conducted as part of an Australian Research Council–funded project called Vital Arts, we delve into the multifaceted nature of creativity, which we argue is not always accounted for in the bureaucratic organization, categorization, and funding of the creative industries. We outline the measurements used by key governmental, nongovernmental, and policymaking bodies in Australia to categorize and fund the creative industries. These metrics reveal blind spots in how the creative industries are institutionally organized and treated when considering the Deleuzian ontology of creativity that actually motors creative work. We argue that many creative jobs and industries exist outside traditional bureaucratic definitions and categories, and through the concepts of affect, becoming, the major and the minor, as well as fabulation, from Deleuze and Guattari’s philosophy, we explore these dynamics further.

This article is an autoethnography as love-in-action in uncertain times. It is an autoethnography that writes into the complicated relationship that I have with my tummy. Through my tummy, I revisit the age-old and tired argument that autoethnography is navel-gazing and narcissistic. I return here because my therapist-self is still contesting that navel-gazing and narcissism are not the same thing and so shouldn’t be coupled together in the critique. Through writing into uncertainty, I find some indignancy and argue that autoethnography that does not navel-gaze is much more likely to be narcissistic because navel-gazing is actually the cure for narcissism.

Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) requests are becoming an increasingly common method of qualitative inquiry, particularly for critical criminologists in Canada who face barriers in accessing Canadian prisons to conduct research. This article explores the politics of institutional gatekeeping and highlights the ongoing policing of critical criminological knowledge, necessitating the use of ATIP as a data collection method. Two case studies describe the strategies that the authors mobilized to acquire records from the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) when their applications to conduct research inside prisons were denied. The authors argue that while access to information legislation is promoted as allowing for increased accountability and transparency of the government, real transparency is a public myth. This lack of transparency is linked to the ascendancy of administrative criminology in Canada, which ultimately devalues critical research and inhibits information flows in and out of carceral spaces.
