Postqualitative, New Materialist and Critical Posthumanist Research
About the Book Series
This cutting-edge series is designed to assist established researchers, academics, postgraduate/graduate students and their supervisors across higher education faculties and departments to incorporate novel, postqualitative, new materialist, and critical posthumanist approaches in their research projects and their academic writing. In addition to these substantive foci, books within the series are inter-, multi- or transdisciplinary and are in dialogue with perspectives such as Black feminisms and Indigenous knowledges, decolonial, African, Eastern and young children’s philosophies. Although the series’ primary aim is accessibility, its scope makes it attractive to established academics already working with postqualitative approaches.
This series is unique in providing short, user-friendly, affordable books that support postgraduate students and academics across disciplines and faculties in higher education. The series is supported by its own website with videos, images and other forms of 3D transmodal expression of ideas – provocations for research courses.
More resources for the books in the series are available on the series website, www.postqualitativeresearch.com.
