This book explores ways in which creative research practice can be
explicitly and mindfully geared to make a difference to the quality
of social and ecological existence. It offers a range of examples
of how different research methods can be employed (and re-tuned)
with this intention. The book suggests that what Romm names
"active" research involves using the research space responsibly to
open up new avenues for thinking and acting on the part of those
involved in the inquiry and wider stakeholders. The book includes a
discussion of a range of epistemological, ontological,
methodological and axiological positions (or paradigms) that can be
embraced by inquirers implicitly or explicitly. It details the
contours of an epistemology where knowing is recognized to be
grounded in social relations, as a matter of ethics. While focusing
on discussing the "transformative paradigm" and attendant view of
research ethics, it considers to what extent the borders between
paradigms can be treated as being permeable in creative and active
inquiries. Apart from considering options for enhancing responsible
research practice during the process of inquiry (and reconsidering
mixed-research designs) the book also considers options for
responsible theorizing that is inspirational for pursuing goals of
social and ecological justice.
