| Abstract: | This article reviews *Methodology and Praxis: Thinking with Patti Lather* (2025), an edited collection by Gabriel Huddleston and Robert J. Helfenbein that explores the scholarly and personal impact of qualitative research theorist Patti Lather. The volume gathers contributions from various researchers who reflect on Lather’s critiques of postpositivist paradigms, her concept of research as praxis, and her influence across fields such as education, feminist theory, poststructuralism, and cultural studies. Emphasizing the ongoing questioning of epistemological assumptions, the book highlights Lather’s role in fostering a community of scholars committed to challenging dominant research paradigms and embracing the complexities of qualitative inquiry. This collection is particularly valuable for emerging and established scholars interested in the historical and philosophical developments of qualitative methodology and its transformative potential.
