What do we actually do when we research education policy and
governance? Why do we tame the messy hinterland of research into
smooth accounts and what do we lose in the process? In this volume,
distinguished scholars in education policy and governance research
discuss how the practice of methods is messy, subjective, and
provisional. They approach methodology as riddled with tensions,
doubts, troubles, and mundane decisions. Scholarship in this book
shifts from recording the methodological hinterland to putting it
to productive use as resources for thinking about the researched
world and about research itself. This methodological openness helps
to examine how research reproduces scholars' metaphysics, how
research is a deeply embodied process encompassing all senses, how
scholars' concerns interfere in the worlds they study, but also how
these equally interfere with researchers. By challenging smooth
methodological accounts which conceal the complex and provisional
nature of research, this book offers new approaches in education
policy and governance research that are more generative,
insightful, and sincere. Offering new ways of thinking about
research methodologies, the book will be of great interest to
researchers, academics, and post-graduate students in the fields of
education research and education theory, as well as social
scientists interested in research methodologies more broadly.
