Figure 1. Stephanie’s (Left) and April’s (Right) Paper Dolls From Initial Play. This paper examines the ways that artful inquiry affords qualitative research students newly creative and embodied opportunities to understand and engage with subjectivity and bias—important concepts in the eld of qualitative inquiry. Moving beyond the inadequacy of traditional teaching practices, such as student-generated written sub- jectivity statements, we share here an artful methodological approach using paper dolls to disrupt conventional engagements with these concepts. Inspired by Donna Haraway’s emphasis on layer(ing)s of subjectivity and Karen Barad’s discussion of cutting together-apart as a creative process, we draw from collaging in/as research to offer this paper doll activity as a constructive and disruptive way to invite students to consider themselves as complex, messy, and inevitable aspects of the research process.

I feel like #AcademicDogs oughta be a thing. Jasper started as a puppy assisting me with my #highered #research, and has served as a #WritingSupportDog for YEARS. #Academia is immediately better with #dogs.

Look, @bsky.app. Selecting #pets has overwhelmed me with (very cute) #cats, #racoons, and #corgis. Where are the other #dogs?!?
To contribute, my hell hound Jasper is terrified of cats, fascinated by raccoons, and his archnemesis is a corgi. (He also wants to catch a deer.)
