Winner of the 2016 ICQI Outstanding Qualitative Book Award
Acclaimed qualitative scholar Jane Speedy's world was upended
completely after suffering a severe stroke when only in her late
50s. After returning home from the hospital, Speedy took to her
iPad to write and draw as a way of making sense of her experience
and to aid her recovery. The stunning, fragmented, poetic text and
images comprising Staring at the Park depict the events of this
difficult journey. It provides an alternative model of engaging the
self in a research project in an evocative and artistic way. This
highly original book: -uses the seemingly ordinary motif of the
park opposite the author's house as the catalyst for a wildly
creative autoethnography;-includes three narratives of the author's
experience of staring at the park-an imagined murder mystery in the
park, a realist ethnography of the park, and the life story (both
imagined and real) of her facing her illness and recovery; -offers
readers a poetic and performative inquiry into the author's new
reality.
