Abstract
This article traces how the language of the authors’ students jolted them into questioning their teaching of qualitative research. The authors discuss many of the inherent difficulties in trying to learn how to be a qualitative researcher as well as how to teach for qualitative research within a technical and academic structure. The authors argue that academic control of research has tamed desire and removed reality from everyday experience into a classroom conceived of and assessed by the maxims of modernity. Mindful of these constraints, the authors believe that there are things that can be done to disrupt the effects of disciplinary power, emphasizing an emotional engagement involving desire, passion, and eros when teaching and learning for qualitative research.Keywords
