Exploring Facet Methodology: A Creative Research Orientation

This presentation, delivered by Jennifer Mason at the Late Life Creativity Network, delves into Facet Methodology, an inventive research orientation. It critiques traditional social science methods for lacking engagement and creativity, highlighting issues like sterility and rigid categorizations. Facet Methodology is framed as an approach that prioritizes inventiveness and a playful epistemology, advocating for a rich, multi-sensory research experience. By embracing entangled ontologies, it encourages researchers to challenge existing assumptions and perspectives while fostering empathy and openness.

  2. Some problems with social science methods • Sterility, life wrung out • Experience? Resonance? • Lacking in multi-sensory ‘aliveness’ • Enumerative logic • Categories, typologies, compromises, separations • Rules and orthodoxies rather than creativity and inventiveness

  3. Facet Methodology • An orientation, not a set of procedures • Inventiveness. A playful approach to epistemology • A visual metaphor, used gently

  4. Facet Methodology • A connective and ‘entangled’ ontology – experience of being alive, living in the world

  5. Facet Methodology • Facets as always methodological and substantive

  6. Facet Methodology • Flashes of insight

  7. Facet Methodology • Casting and refracting light

  8. Facet Methodology • ‘Troubling’ existing assumptions and perspectives

  9. Facet Methodology • Playing with epistemologies – astuteness, openness, empathy, humility, inventiveness
