In this chapter we have set out how transmaterial worlding as onto-epistemological inquiry supports transformative research into relations between discourse and a transmaterial world. Transmaterial worlding as a method of inquiry has an important role to play in showing how language works in and between human and non-human relationships to maintain or disrupt practices of power that enable or prevent social justice. Co-construction as a form of inquiry and worlding process is an important tool in (i) understanding and supporting decolonial, new materialist strategies to show, extend and disrupt relationships between language and material structures, and (ii) locating human activity as co-inhabitation within a wider fluid sphere of human and non-human environmental context. Examples of systemic questions demonstrate transformative possibilities for generating new and old knowledges that impact on daily practice. Signposts are offered for co-constructionist inquiry as transmaterial worlding to support research which aims to transform lives and create sustainable futures. Transmaterial worlding encourages the development of new practices and is curious about accounts of the fluid and shifting connections between experience and explanation, between theory and practice, language and matter.
