“…Second, we could re-engage with the same dataset diffractively and be attentive to the differences that emerge. Putting the processes and findings of coding-based thematic analysis and diffractive analysis “in conversation” gives us opportunities to explore the similarities, differences, and connections that might emerge from the conversation (Bozalek & Zembylas, 2017; Crickmay & Keene, 2022). Third, we could pay more attention to the more-than-human materiality in research.…”

Despite growing numbers of qualitative research studies published in human resource development (HRD), there is a limited scope of qualitative methodologies applied. When it comes to qualitative data analysis, coding-based analysis is the go-to analytical method in HRD. This article introduces diffractive analysis, a concept for data analysis that encourages new ways to consider the entanglement between data, theories, researchers, and the researched. This paper introduces the philosophical foundation of diffractive analysis that challenges reflection as the prominent metaphor for inquiry in HRD research and practice. Examples from empirical studies are presented to illustrate how data and theory can be read diffractively into each other to produce different knowledge in HRD. The differences diffractive analysis can potentially make in HRD include engaging with research philosophically, analyzing data diffractively, developing a performative understanding of the field, and strengthening researcher-practitioner partnership.

This chapter offers insight into a project which provokes alternative educational futures and imaginative ways of facing current challenging issues, in this case dementia, through adopting an approach which values emergence, creativity and care-ful responses. In our co-writing and making, we reflect on an improvisatory musical practice involving people with dementia, their family, carers and a team of professional musicians and facilitators, working together with voices, instruments, words and images. We consider this practice, melding the human, the sonic and the material, in dialogue with posthuman theory which we weave together with music, words and images creatively generated by the group and the authors in recent workshops both in person and online. Through a series of ‘diffractions’ of our data, we consider how those living with dementia may help us to focus on learning as a response-able encounter, a co-creative emergence in a liminal space that opens towards the unforeseeable future. There are a series of field recordings that accompany this text: you will find links to them next to headings and subheadings; we invite you to listen to them as you read.
