Abstract

In terms of framing, Helen Pluckrose et al. specifically discussed how “Questionable qualitative methodologies such as poetic inquiry and autoethnography were incorporated into their fraudulent manuscripts—as if method alone was a disqualifier for scientific inquiry. Authored by Pluckrose, James A. Lindsay, and Peter Boghossian in 2018, the article recounted the authors' efforts to publish 'fake' papers in leading journals in the humanities and social sciences-especially but not limited to those with a cultural studies, identity studies, or critical theory focus. The book also remits the qualitative inquiry at a crossroads. The metaphor of a crossroads highlights the crucial questions about the work that is done, the way in which it is to be done and the conditions under which that work exists is to be revisited. Qualitative Inquiry at a rossroads is divided into three parts such as performative, methodological and political.
