An Invitation to Relational Research: Constructing New Horizons in Knowledge, Methodology and Beyond (Advancing Methods for Interdisciplinarity in the Social Sciences)

This book explores the potential of relational research as a creative and participatory endeavor to produce knowledge.Bringing together insights from social construction, intersectional feminist frameworks, decolonial practices, queer theories, and queer worldmaking, it prompts researchers to reimagine the theoretical underpinnings and methodological choices that shape their work.In doing so, it cultivates a community of practice in which scholars engage the complex terrain of research to advance plural and inclusive forms of knowing. This edited collection offers a global perspective on what knowledge is and how it is created, situating research practices within diverse cultural, disciplinary, and relational contexts through contributions from authors from different corners of the world.It illustrates methods that support navigating pressing global challenges, such as sustainability transitions, the surge of populism, and the enduring legacies of colonialism, racial, gendered, and sex
