Professor Natasha Mauthner is a faculty member at Newcastle University specializing in qualitative research, feminist methodologies, and posthumanist theory. Her work critically examines research ethics, data sharing practices, and material-discursive frameworks across social inquiry.
Her research spans qualitative methodology, feminist epistemology, and posthumanist philosophy, with seminal contributions to diffractive methodologies and reconfigurations of the Listening Guide. Key applications include family practices, mental health (particularly postpartum depression), technology-society interactions, and cross-cultural studies of female entrepreneurship in Saudi Arabia. Recent work emphasizes ethical challenges in open qualitative research with marginalized populations.
Analysis of her 2018-2025 publications reveals consistent application of posthumanist frameworks to reconfigure research ethics and data practices. She bridges theoretical innovation (e.g., Karen Barad's agential realism) with methodological guidance for vulnerable populations, addressing tensions between data sharing imperatives and contextual integrity in big data eras.
