Abstract
Integrating detournement in my qualitative research course for social work masters students was extremely challenging since students were far more interested in clinical practices of social work than conducting research. Detournement is “both a theory and a method intertwined—a ‘praxis,’ in the (arguable) sense of a critical practice informed by theory” (Trier, 2004, p.45), and it helped me bridge the field of social work to the practice of qualitative research.
