Description
Post Qualitative Inquiry: Texts and Lectures by Elizabeth A. St.Pierre brings together a curated selection of writings and public lectures by Elizabeth Adams St.Pierre, whose work has shaped and energised the international conversation on post qualitative inquiry.
Developed alongside the landmark Post Qualitative Inquiry Lecture Series featuring St.Pierre at the University of Georgia (2024-2025), this collection offers an archival record of a rare scholarly event that convened more than 400 participants from over 30 countries, alongside leading international guests whose work intersects with poststructural, feminist, posthumanist, and new materialist approaches to inquiry. Organised around six key publications chosen by St.Pierre as representative touchstones of the field, the book pairs each text with its corresponding lecture, and with introductions by Stephanie Jones that situate the ideas historically, philosophically, and politically. Together, the materials trace evolving engagements with ontological inquiry, difference, immanence, new empiricisms, refusal of method, and the conditions under which "the new" in research can emerge. Rather than prescribing a way to "do" post qualitative inquiry, the collection documents a generative discursive space in which concepts, problems, and philosophical inheritances are re-opened and re-read.
For scholars, graduate students, and teachers of qualitative and post qualitative research, the book provides access to a significant moment in the development of PQI, along with multimodal media that preserve the lectures' dialogic and affective force.
