Abstract
The practice of presenting research as a predictable process of knowledge creation dominates qualitative research underpinned by capitalist ideology, as does the singling out of individual researchers as knowledge creators. We seek to unsettle these views in our analytical account of an online seminar series we ran and which responded to emerging concerns of participants. It resulted in a set of collaboratively-written texts about research ethics, initiated synchronously and completed asynchronously. We detail this immanent methodology (Renold, 2018), share artefacts that were collectively produced during the series leading up to the final workshop and discuss the potential and limitations of a post-qualitative approach that subverts individualism through collective knowledge creation. In so doing, we suggest that adopting the twin features of collective creation and immanence disrupt the confines of rigidity and individualism, offering an evolving pathway for hopeful future inquiry.
