Call for Contributions for edited volume — ‘Living and Loving as Research Methodologies’
Linh Nguyễn, Yuanting Qiu, and Girinandini Singh (doctoral researchers at the University of Cambridge Faculty of Education, Arts and Creativities Research Group) are editing a volume on living and loving as research methodologies towards a book proposal with Routledge. This volume builds on growing literature to expand approaches to qualitative inquiry.
We are seeking chapter contributions from researchers across contexts to collaboratively address the need for practice-based examples of anti-extractive research.
About The Book
This edited volume engages with decolonial scholarship that advocates for de-linking ourselves from dominant structures of knowledge to re-constitute non-western ways of knowing, being, thinking, and learning that have always existed despite delegitimization
(Mignolo 2007).
In response to methods of data collection and engagement in research as being extractive and violent to marginalized communities, how can we enact gentler loving ways of noticing, holding space, presencing, and building relationality through the diffractive apparatuses of research, writing, and academia?
Relying on queer, feminist, and decolonial praxis, this edited volume aims to focus on highlighting processes, explorations, and inquiries as being emergent and ongoing, towards decentring knowledge and research as static, scalable products.
This edited volume will be proposed to the Taylor and Francis Group in a new Routledge book series on Expanding Approaches to Qualitative Inquiry.
We are seeking contributory chapters that discuss methodologies and approaches to exploring embodied inquiry, “attending to spillage” as method (Ahmed 2021), listening practices through relationality, love, kinshipping in research and learning spaces, and more on (but not limited to) thematic questions which can be found in the link https://lnkd.in/eWG5GUig.
Submissions
Please submit a brief expression of interest through a 300-word abstract outlining what you propose your chapter will cover to Linh, Yuanting, and Giri at the following email addresses: lsn25@cam.ac.uk, yq272@cam.ac.uk, gs701@cam.ac.uk on or before 02/03/2025. The abstracts will be reviewed against the thematic areas of the volume, and selected authors will be invited to work towards a draft chapter. The process of selecting abstracts will be competitive, so it is important to be clear about the suggested content of your potential chapter and how it will contribute to expanding approaches. Complete chapters should be 6000-8000 words, including references.
Deadline for chapter proposal abstract: 2 March 2025
