Listening as a methodology is about an enhanced receptivity to what is taking place in a research encounter. Reflecting on a process of workshopping audio methodologies, this piece highlights the diverse set of pre‐individual and nonhuman agencies that occupy fields of listening, indifferent to, and often against, the predefined intentions of the researcher. In directing us to the field in these ways, the intervention in listening makes apparent that post‐humanist methodologies are not only about finding new ways of communicating, documenting, or representing research environments, but rather about engendering new ways of relating to them.
