Methodological Tensions when Interviewing/Intra-Viewing Digital Objects in Educational Research

Aktivitet: Tal eller presentationKonferenspresentation

Beskrivning

In this paper presentation, I would like to engage in a joint discussion about what Springgay and Truman (2018, p. 204) call “the quivering unease of doing research differently”, namely the interactive/intra-active nature of interviewing digital objects in educational research (Adams & Thompson, 2016). Posthuman methodologies may offer exciting potential to study human and digital entanglements in higher education. For example, it may facilitate new insights into how digital objects (e.g., PowerPoint) and systems (e.g., generative artificial intelligence) shape course matters (e.g., oral presentations) and human knowings and affects. However, I have struggled with material-methodological issues, such as selecting what digital object to study, how to document the analysis and explain my process truthfully and the epistemic relevance of studies when decentering humans and turning to materials instead. I want to discuss methodological tensions in educational research during the conference based on works by, e.g., Adams and Thompson (2016) and Gourlay (2021) and the experiences of other participants in the session.
