Abstract: This article offers a revision to an existing social science methodology, Q methodology, through “Q-Rhetoric.” After detailing Q methodology’s theoretical underpinnings and practical method, and persistent critiques of the methodology, the article employs perspectives from rhetorical theory and Amerindian anthropology to suggest a methodological correction. It concludes by detailing the use of Q-Rhetoric to intervene in a Wisconsin stream management controversy, proposing Q-Rhetoric as a pragmatic and theoretically sound methodology for working across disciplinary divides.
Caroline Gottschalk Druschke <caroline.gottschalk.druschke@wisc.edu> is in the Department of English, University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she fuses rhetorical and ecological perspectives to intervene in controversies over freshwater streams.
