Some problems with social science methods
Sterility, life wrung out Experience? Resonance? Lacking in multi-sensory ‘aliveness’ Enumerative logic Categories, typologies, compromises,
separations Rules and orthodoxies rather than creativity
and inventiveness
Facet Methodology
An orientation, not a set of procedures Inventiveness. A playful approach to
epistemology A visual metaphor, used gently
Facet Methodology
A connective and ‘entangled’ ontology – experience of being alive, living in the world
Facet Methodology
Facets as always methodological and substantive
Facet Methodology
Flashes of insight
Facet Methodology
Casting and refracting light
Facet Methodology
‘Troubling’ existing assumptions and perspectives
Facet Methodology
Playing with epistemologies – astuteness, openness, empathy, humility, inventiveness
