Qualitative Inquiry, Ahead of Print.
The need for qualitative research that facilitates understanding of the social world is imperative as people around the globe encounter political, economic, environmental, health, and social crises. Higher education presses for preparing scholars to be creative, collaborative, and productive to examine these problems. In increasingly repressive contexts, the preparation of new scholars entails envisioning post-capitalist approaches to attend to how to live and work in the academy. This article uses concepts from Braidotti’s critical posthumanism and Lefebvre’s work on rhythmanalysis to imagine post-capitalist approaches to preparing future qualitative scholars for work in the neoliberal institution.
