Opening conversation on doing process research

This closing chapter of the book is intended to open up to a wider trans-disciplinary conversation about the doing of research that arises from a commitment to process ontology. It takes the form of a conversation between the book’s editors, Line Revsbæk and Barbara Simpson, and two prominent exponents of post-qualitative inquiry in the field of education, Alecia Jackson and Lisa Mazzei. We traverse a range of topics including the teaching of research practice and the receptivity of students to new ways of thinking, the relationship between process ontology and other post-foundationalist philosophies, the challenges of ‘posthuman subjectivities’ and ‘power’ in process ontological inquiry, and the potential for process ontological research to inform the tremendous demands for transformative change that our world(s) are increasingly imposing upon all of us. We end on an optimistic note, looking forward to ‘a people to come’.
