Ways of knowing in social sciences and educational research are sculpted by normative knowing of ways that are rooted in prescriptive histories of positivist and qualitative traditions. In this paper, by subscribing to what St. Pierre and Lather initiated as the "postqualitative movement", we turn from tradition to re-search research…

Generated by the centenary of the First World War, there has been an increased interest in how war is commemorated in English schools.
