As critical posthumanist and (new) materialist scholarship become more established in educational research, a reconsideration of methodological approaches suited to a radical relational onto-epistemology is required. A popular figuration adopted by researchers to help think and do such research is the Deleuze-Guattarian "rhizome." Coming to terms with "how" rhizomic styled research (rhizo research) is undertaken and "what" it can yield however, can be challenging. In this paper, a study involving a "Zombie Apocalypse Survival Course" run at a human pathology museum becomes an animated example of rhizo research. Through it we demonstrate how infusing this research with an "analytic of lines" (derived from Deleuze-Guattarian rhizomatics) provides for a practice of research that has the power to shift the ontological and epistemological positions that continue to define qualitative research in education and bring understudied, ethico-political dimensions of it into view.
