| Summary: | In ‘Inquiring with hospitable methodologies,’ Emily Höckert and Bryan Grimwood engage with postcolonial philosophies of hospitality that approach ethical subjectivity as openness to alterity and ‘the other.’ Following especially in the footsteps of Emmanuel Levinas and Jacques Derrida, the chapter explores what research would be or become, and what research would do, if oriented around the metaphor of hospitality. Through slow thinking with proximate relations and the exchange of letters and postcards, they reflect the different ways hosts and guests—both human and non-human—make space for otherness and negotiate the conditions of hospitality in different kinds of homes. The chapter serves as an invitation to engage in proximate relations with other-oriented ethics of generosity and preparedness to be unprepared.
