Abstract: In this chapter, I shall briefly explain what Q is, why I think Q is an ethical methodology, good at hearing marginalised voices, before concluding by considering how Q contributes to a critical educational psychology. As this chapter seeks to present some of the strengths of Q and ways in which my interpretation of it has influenced my attempts at a more critically inclined practice, I shall start with a brief introduction of what has been described as ‘perhaps the ultimate mixed method’ (The Psychologist, 2008, p. 481).
