Knowledge Production in Material Spaces is a curation of the interventions that the authors undertook at a range of academic conferences since 2016. It problematizes disciplined practices and expectations governing academic conference spaces and generates new ways of thinking and doing conferences otherwise. The authors use posthuman, feminist materialist and post-qualitative theories to disrupt knowledge production in neoliberal and bureaucratic conferences spaces. The analysis they offer, and the rhizomatic writing and presentational styles they use, promote a form of educational activism through theory. They interrogate the conference space as a regulated, normalized and standardized mode of academic knowledge production – which they call the ‘AcademicConferenceMachine’ – and playfully subvert the dominant meanings and modes of conferences and workshops to show how we can better interact and produce research, with and for each other. The authors indicate how creative conference practices promote playful possibilities to imagine and produce knowledge differently.This book will appeal to audiences ranging from established professionals to early career scholars, doctoral and master’s students in Education and the social sciences.

The Handbook of Reconfiguring Interpretation in PostQualitative Research addresses different roles, functions, and reconfigurations of interpretation in qualitative and postqualitative research.This book connects interpretation to its histories while revisioning and reconfiguring what the future of interpretation and interpretive practices could be like and how different interpretations can shape qualitative and postqualitative relationalities, discourses, affects, and materialities. It addresses different roles, functions, and reconfigurations of interpretation in qualitative and postqualitative research. What happens to interpretation when it is put into different theoretical frames including postmodernism, posthumanism, postcolonialism? What has changed and how do different epistemological and ontological spaces offer different insights about interpretation and shape diverse uses for interpretation? How does interpretation function and what does it produce during these rapidly shifting cultural and political times?This Handbook can be used as a main text for introduction to qualitative research courses, advanced courses focusing on interpretation, post qualitative research practices, or social science methodologies. It could also be used as a supplementary textbook for qualitative methods courses including qualitative design, representation, and (post)practices courses.

Interpretation in Qualitative Research: Key Concepts in Qualitative Research is an edited collection that makes a methodological contribution to the conceptual connections around/with/for/to interpretation, and it offers contemporary concept provocations to the literature on interpretation.Written for advanced undergraduate and early postgraduate students, as well as researchers seeking an entry point into a new area of study, it provides an introductory understanding of the key concept of interpretation in qualitative and postqualitative research across disciplines while working both with and against diverse interpretative traditions. This book touches upon different roles, functions, and reconfigurations of interpretation in (post)qualitative research and in different transdisciplinary, theoretical, and geopolitical contexts. Short, creatively crafted entries connect interpretation to its historical, discursive, and methodological roots while revisioning and reconfiguring what futures and becomings of interpretation might be like.Interpretation in Qualitative Research can be used as a main text for introduction to qualitative research courses and advanced courses focusing on interpretation or interpretive sciences. It could also be used as a supplementary textbook for qualitative and postqualitative method courses, including data collection and research design courses.
