Reviews

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.
