This fascinating book provides a groundbreaking resource for innovative approaches to qualitative inquiry that address equity and justice and equip readers with tools to enact these approaches in their own work.

Comprising contributions from award-winning qualitative scholars, chapters show how methodologies can be employed to address social issues and problems from the social-political milieu including education, COVID-19, racial inequalities, health inequalities, climate change, and debates around gender diversity amongst others. This book offers the new and innovative paradigms, methodologies, and methods a cutting-edge group of scholars has crafted as well as the 'how to' so readers may employ these approaches in dissertations, grants, and various research team scholarship. Contributors reimagine the next generation of "rigorous" qualitative methodologies by pushing on the boundaries of existing methodological approaches as well as presenting new ways of engaging in research that prioritise innovation, equity and justice.

This unique edited volume is aimed at students and researchers studying or using qualitative methodologies and inquiry who wish to be exposed to emergent conceptualizations and innovations regarding qualitative research methodology and its congruent methods.

Reviews

'This volume on methodological inclusion provides novel insights and advances the boundaries of methodological "workings" during a time in which the very idea of inclusion is being attacked. This volume highlights just how much it is needed. All the authors deftly deconstruct longstanding methodological knowledges to foster agency, dignity, and inclusion in the research process. This volume is primed to advance the understanding, innovation, and relevance of methodology and methods.'

Noelle W. Arnold, PhD, Senior Associate Dean and Professor of Educational Administration, The Ohio State University, USA

Having attended portions of the 2023 Advanced Methods Institute, I wish to vouch for that conference as literally ruffling, oscillating, wobbling, pulsating this edited volume into existence. Rhodesia McMillian and Penny Pasque have skillfully re-assembled an intentionally diverse set of conference presentations, actions and collaboratings that coalesce into fresh challenges and innovative possibilities for the "doings" of (post) qualitative research. Advancing Qualitative Inquiry toward Methodological Innovation is required reading for all those committed to inventive qualitative research that prioritizes justice and equity for all.

'Advancing Qualitative Inquiry Toward Methodological Inclusion" is a pivotal resource for scholars and practitioners across disciplines grappling with today's complex, "wicked problems." Through innovative methodologies and a focus on equity and justice, this book equips researchers with the tools to engage deeply with pressing issues. Its collaborative insights from leading scholars pave the way for future research that's not just rigorous but also inclusive and impactful. A must-read for anyone committed to advancing qualitative inquiry with an eye toward methodological renewal and social change.'
