Abstract

Across intellectual disciplines, the ontological turn is restructuring how with think about human relationships with the non-human world. In this presentation, I will discuss one approach to doing research within this philosophical, post-qualitative framework: Diffractive Ethnography. This presentation extends from my award-winning book, Diffractive Ethnography: Social Sciences in the Ontological Turn (Routledge 2018).

Keywords
