    Abstract

    Qualitative inquiry largely stands outside the current policy focus on experimental results—the “what works” agenda. Yet thinking and doing things differently—another form of experiment—could be more prominent in critical qualitative inquiry. The article will look at the ways in which qualitative inquiry is currently positioned in policy debate and reflect on whether or not a different form of “experimentalism” could generate a different form of knowledge about what “might work.”
