| Queer Temporalities, Spacetimematterings, and a Pedagogy of Vulnerability in Qualitative Inquiry
This interview project began with a daughter’s innocent desire to ask “Why?” but we find ourselves in an ever-looping liminality that recognizes both the impossibility of such innocence and the power of an “ability to live on the boundaries” of wanting-to-know and never-knowing. This article concludes by considering the implications of maintaining such a space within the context of a qualitative inquiry course and within the scholarly and personal engagements between a qualitative inquiry instructor and student. We examine the ways that this liminal space has shaped our co-writing, our… |

| Selling Pain to the Saturated Self
How can we comprehend people who pay for an experience marketed as painful? On one hand, consumers spend billions of dollars every year to alleviate different kinds of pain. On the other hand, millions of individuals participate in extremely painful leisure pursuits. In trying to understand this conundrum, we ethnographi-cally study a popular adventure challenge where participants subject themselves to electric shocks, fire, and freezing water. Through sensory intensification, pain brings the body into sharp focus, allowing individuals to rediscover their corporeal-ity. In addition, painful… |

| Critiquing the role of the learner and context in aesthetic learning experiences
I critique the role of learners and context to more fully explore the latent conceptions and performance of aesthetic learning experiences in instructional design and technology. This critique is intended to allow for a fuller interrogation of how individual learners apprehend designed learning experiences, heightening the role of the instructional designer in envisioning such experiences. Using a 1-year ethnography of a graduate human–computer interaction program to document the felt student experience, I highlight the importance of understanding how learners construct their own… |
