Abstract
- Post qualitative inquiry is an immanent approach to research that I engaged during a study on TikTok with my 11-year-old daughter. In this article, I reflect on how its experimental style enabled a provisional escape from the hierarchy of adult/child through lines of flight. I also reflect on how binary thinking that disparages children's knowledge permeated our post qualitative inquiry through my authority as a parent making decisions about my child's social media use and as a university researcher making choices about academic theorizing, writing, and publishing. Rather than view these shifts as dualistic and contradictory, I suggest that post qualitative inquiry involves continuous, inseparable flows of blockage and rupture that create transformation. My TikTok education thus comprised learning about a social media application that matters to my daughter, but also attuning myself to moments of movement and stasis that heightened my desire to slip the confines of the adult/child hierarchy in parenting and research.
