The Creative Qualitative Researcher is designed to help readers see
the range of possibilities of creative scholarship. The phrase
"creative qualitative researchers" points toward scholars who call
upon their literary skills to evoke the emotional and intellectual
complexity of their subjects; who deploy their vulnerable,
relational, and reflexive selves to expose and change problematic
cultural practices; and who engage their embodied ideological and
ethical sensibilities as researchers. Part I introduces chapters on
four qualitative methods: autoethnography, performative writing,
narrative inquiry and poetic inquiry. Each of these four method
chapters presents the method written in the style it features,
provides writing prompts for exploring the chapter's themes, and
offers written examples of the method. Part II, divided into four
chapters, aims to develop creative qualitative research skills
relevant to the methods discussed in Part I. Chapter 5 discusses
empathy and ethics; Chapter 6 is a primer on creative writing;
Chapter 7 identifies some alternative ideas for using the words of
others; and Chapter 8 focuses on collaborative improvisation to
compose scholarly work. Each of the chapters in Part II includes a
large number of writing exercises, prompts and strategies to assist
scholars in becoming better creative researchers. By the end of the
book, readers will know what creative research might entail and
will have a clear understanding of the methods. Working with the
various writing strategies, readers will see the potential of
creative research and gain skills for its use.
